The Red Deer Lacrosse Association will host the 33rd edition of the Tradition Lives Tournament this weekend.
Games will be played at the Collicutt Centre, G.H. Dawe Community Centre and the Kinsmen Community Arenas during the tournament, which runs from Friday, May 16 to Monday, May 19. There will be numerous age groups competing over the weekend: U9, U11, U13A, U13B, U15A, U15B and U17B.
"We hope that your memories of this tournament will be satisfying, both in accomplishing your goals in lacrosse and in the fellowship made on and off the floor. We would also like to welcome those out of town participants that are visiting our fine city and trust you will enjoy your stay," the Tradition Lives Lacrosse Tournament Committee writes in a statement to players, coaches, parents and fans posted on the tournament website.
More than 50 teams from across the province will compete at the event. The Tradition Lives Lacrosse Tournament has evolved over the last 33 years to meet the needs of event patrons, the statement added.
"These positive changes came about in response to suggestions provided by past tournament participants," said the tournament committee.
"The Tradition Lives Lacrosse Tournament is made possible through the efforts of volunteer parents and fans of the game that strive to offer a first class tournament experience for players of all ages and abilities. In the event of team difficulties or problems, tournament volunteers will be accessible throughout the weekend to provide assistance. Please feel free to contact these individuals with any questions or concerns.
"Our tournament is sponsored by many generous businesses. A large number of these agencies are depicted in the advertising sections throughout the tournament. Please recognize and reward these contributing businesses for their commitment to minor lacrosse."
