Team Ontario Lacrosse

The Team Ontario program is the Provincial Team Program for the Ontario Lacrosse Association (OLA). This is the high-performance program which operates all teams representing the Ontario Lacrosse Association as ‘all-star’ teams. All OLA athletes who meet the eligibility criteria are entitled to try-out for Team Ontario teams, regardless of their point of origin. Team Ontario teams will attend Canadian Lacrosse Association Championship Tournaments as well as Lacrosse Canada Invitational National Tournaments, and international tournaments deemed appropriate and supportive of the Team Ontario Program goals. The Team Ontario program also operates Let’s Get It Started Camps for athletes in the 10U (9-10 years old) and 12U (11-12 years old) divisions. LGIS Camps are for athletes who wish to experience the Team Ontario try-out process, prior to trying-out for Team Ontario, as well as exposure to high-level coaching. Eligibility Criteria
Athletes trying-out for a Team Ontario team must be registered with the Ontario Lacrosse Association, and must be eligible by age. Initial try-outs, called Identification or ID Selection Camps, are open to all athletes who meet this criteria. Athletes wishing to try-out register through the Team Ontario Website. Athletes are required to set-up an account and register for ID Selection Camps. Please note that athletes may register for different team try-outs providing they meet the eligibility criteria for each team, as stated above. Invitational and Main Camps
While ID Selection Camps are open to all athletes, Invitational Camps and Main Camps are only open to athletes invited back to the try-outs. Team Ontario does require all athletes to be registered for the ID Selection Camps to be eligible to participate in the Invitational or Main Camps. Not all divisions require Invitational Camps – these are based on the number of athletes registered in the division. Rosters
Coaching staff will name the final teams at the conclusion of the Main Camp. The coaching staff will meet with each player individually and let them know whether or not they are being offered a position on the team. Team rosters will be posted on the Team Ontario website prior to their Tournament.
