The purpose of the Mini Tyke and Tyke leagues is to introduce, emphasize, and develop the fundamental skills of lacrosse. The focus of practices as well as games is to promote an environment that encourages participation, skill development, and overall enjoyment of the game.
The CDLA has divided the Mini Tyke and Tyke leagues up into 3 areas:
Deep South - Okotoks / High River
South Calgary - Axemen and Sabrecats
North Calgary - Hornets, Knights and Rockyview
The reason for this is to allow for all games to be played close to home and reduce travel to and from games.
At the end of the season, a special "Tyke Festival" is held where all teams come together to play one another in a fun and festive atmosphere.
Throughout the season, in order to encourage the development of this environment, there will be no standings for Mini Tyke or Tyke. "RO" will be displayed in place of a game score to show a game has been played. Please note that although standings are not kept, standard game results procedures must be followed (ie. sending in the game sheets).
