SALA Wheatland Crossover Cup

About the SALA / Wheatland Lacrosse Crossover
The SALA / Wheatland Lacrosse Crossover was launched in 2022 with support from the Alberta Lacrosse Association. The initiative was created to help grow the sport in developing lacrosse communities—particularly places like Taber, where new clubs were just beginning to form. For that reason, the very first crossover weekend was hosted in Taber.
This event gives SALA and WLA U17 teams the chance to compete against opponents they wouldn’t normally face during regular league play. It’s designed not only to broaden competition but also to strengthen the sport as a whole.
Held pre-season or early in the season, the crossover also provides valuable opportunities for official mentorship, helping referees and officials gain experience and support as they prepare for the year ahead.
