Please read the following message from the Association’s Club Board of Directors:

 

Welcome to the 2025 lacrosse season. The Nepean Knights Minor Lacrosse

Association is happy to have you join this year’s competitive tryout process. The Board would like to provide you with some important details that may ease the process along the way. To begin, we invite you to review our Tryout Process page on our website. This outlines the standard process your player will follow and also lists some requirements. We encourage you to review the required equipment and have your player try on their last year’s equipment ahead of time to ensure it fits. No player will be allowed to step onto the floor and tryout unless they are properly equipped. 

Members of the Board will be at tryouts and available to you if you have any questions. We will also have competitive clothing available for your player to try on so you can order the right sizing should your player make a competitive team. We ask that you have your player do a “fit check” on day 1 of their tryout. 

The tryout process can be intense and riddled with emotions. As a Board, we recognize

how difficult this can be for some players/families. We respect all feelings and encourage you to reach out to the Board when needed, however, we ask everyone to respect the 24-hr rule. This means taking the time to step away and consider the message you would like to send before doing so. We will make ourselves available to you for discussions on any topic at that point. 

If you have general questions regarding the competitive program, coaches, or the Association, please feel free to contact your respective Competitive Director below, our Coach Mentor, and/or President and Vice President.

We look forward to seeing you all on the floor and running another great season with our Knights Family.
