U17 SALA vs WLA
Southern Alberta Lacrosse Association and Wheatland Lacrosse Association Crossover Cup
The SALA / Wheatland Lacrosse Crossover was started with support of the Alberta Lacrosse Association in 2022.
Its purpose was to help promote lacrosse in communities like Taber that had newly formed clubs, which is why the initial crossover weekend was held in Taber.
This crossover gives an opportunity for U17 teams to play other teams from around the province they do not typically compete against.
The crossover is held pre-season or early in the season to assist in official mentorship.
