Female (only) Information:

• Registration fees will be paid at time of registration and the registrar will transfer the funds to the hosting association. The Female Division practices may be moved around between Victoria facilities so that no player must always travel.
• NOTE: Fees for each Female division are base fees agreed upon by the 4 Victoria Associations. However, the host association may ask for Fundraising fees, shorts fee, etc. once teams are formed.
• Please contact [email protected] with any questions about Female Box Lacrosse registration.
