2024 U13 Beaumont Raiders Lacrosse Season
- U13 Women's Division Season Play will begin April 17, 2024.
- For the 2024 Box Lacrosse playing season, U13 weekday games will be scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and/or Friday with a start time of anywhere between 6:00-8:15pm, with some weekend play.
- Practice days and times are TBD
- The lacrosse season ends with city championship late June with Provincials in early-mid July.
- At U13 athletes are divided into Men's and Women's Divisions
- If the number of registered athletes is high enough for multiple teams, evaluations will be scheduled to ensure a parity between teams.
This season you may notice a change to our division names and age groups, as well as, a change in labeling from "Male/Female" now to "Men/Women". This may seem strange to you based on the age groups of our athletes, but this change comes with guidance from Lacrosse Canada in promoting inclusiveness. The term "female" connotes a biological category, while "women" is a whole human person, making it technically a noun. The Beaumont Raiders are supporting the use of women as an adjective to achieve a more inclusive meaning that emphasizes gender over biological sex.
- U13, U15 and U17 age groups get separated into tiers. There are A teams and B teams. These teams are formed by tryouts and selections during evaluations pre-season.
- 'A' level teams are usually on the floor a minimum of 3 times per week (practices and/or games).
- 'B' level teams are usually on the floor about 2-3 times per week (practices and/or games).
- The Sherwood Park Titans and the Beaumont Raiders join for the 'A' Team division. Click Here for "A' Level Information
