Women's
Field Lacrosse is a quick, free-flowing game which is easy to
understand and watch. The game is played on a 100m x 55m field with 12
players aside on the field. The full roster of a Women's Field team is
16-20 players.
Unlike Men's Field or Box Lacrosse, Women's Field is a non-contact
sport. There is no aggressive checking with either the stick or the
body. This results in a game which has added emphasis on a fast-paced,
polished game centred on ball movement
The International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations
sanctions international championships at the junior and senior level on
a four year cycle. Canada consistently places in the top four positions
and performances at the last two championships have clearly shown the
promise of great things to come.
The Women's Field program is the youngest of our competitive
programs. The future of the growth has been clearly demonstrated to lie
in the secondary and university clubs. The scholastic development
program sets the ground work for the success to come.
