National Championships/Provincial Teams
2005 JUNIOR MEN’S FIELD & INTERMEDIATE MEN’S FIELD PROGRAM UPDATE
The Men’s Field Sector has recently made the following decision for the 2005 competitive season. Upon reviewing the applications for coaching and management staffs, and according to the decisions made at the SLA AGM regarding the lack of applications from any region, three U-16 teams and two U-19 teams (one made up with players from across the entire province and one host team) will be entered into the national championship tournament.
U19 Coaching Staff – Regional Team
The SLA will support the development of a regional team in the province not including the Saskatoon Scorpions. This team will still be operated as an independent of the SLA office.
Lyalle Davis from Moose Jaw with assistants to be finalized.
Lyalle has been coaching field lacrosse for the past few seasons including coaching the 2004 U19 Provincial team.
The U19 regional team will be managed by Brian Kitts of Moose Jaw.
U16 North Coaching Staff
Brad Cameron from Sturgis with assistants to be finalized.
Brad has a wealth of experience in coaching field lacrosse being involved as the head coach of the Sturgis Lacrosse program for the last decade winning many provincial titles over the years.
The North regional all-star team will consist of the following communities:
Biggar, Battlefords, Rosetown, Non-Scorpion Saskatoon, Aberdeen, Big River, Kindersley, Sturgis, Yorkton and Prince Albert
U16 South Coaching Staff
Micki Lewchuk from Regina with assistants Scott Love, Jamie Love and additional assistants to be finalized.
Micki has been coaching field lacrosse in Regina for the past few years and also played on the Senior Men’s Field Provincial Team for a number of years.
The U16 South team will be managed by Lori Love of Regina, current President of the Regina Men’s Field Lacrosse Association.
The South regional all-star team will consist of the following communities:
Swift Current, Moose Jaw, Regina, Weyburn, Estevan, Assiniboia, and Notre Dame (Wilcox)
SLA Support
The SLA will assist each regional team in communicating information with the SLA membership; however, the teams will be operated independently of the SLA office. The SLA will provide a share of the provincial team funding to the Junior Men’s Field Regional/Club teams, however, the Intermediate Men’s Field Regional/Club teams will not receive a share of the SLA funding as the Alumni Cup tournament is not currently a CLA approved national championship tournament.
