Scotia lacrosse league expands game across province
Four Nova Scotia minor lacrosse associations are 2019 founding members of the Scotia Minor Lacrosse League.
The SMLL includes Valley Thunder Lacrosse, Truro Bearcats Lacrosse, the Pictou County Snipers and the Cape Breton Warriors. League play includes teams in Novice, Peewee, Bantam and combined Midget/ Intermediate divisions.
The SMLL’s focus is on growing the game of lacrosse across the province. SMLL teams typically play an eight- to nine-game season, and host their championship weekend in mid-June. COVID-19 public health precautions are affecting all scheduling, but 2021 season planning is underway. Hosting clubs also schedule in a variety of development clinics for athletes, coaches and officials, taking advantage of en masse events to offer skills training, mentorship and opportunities to build camaraderie at all levels within the game.
The SMLL membership remains open, as communities across the province rejuvenate or launch youth minor lacrosse programs. The league will flex its structure and schedule to accommodate teams at any and all divisions, and there is preliminary interest in extending programming into the field lacrosse sector.
