Calgary Winter Lacrosse League

Calgary Winter Lacrosse League Association

Calgary's First Lacrosse Facility!

The Calgary Lacrosse community recently celebrated the announcement that the Calgary City Council has set aside a 10-acre parcel of land so we can build Calgary’s first Lacrosse facility. Through our not-for-profit entity, the Calgary Winter Lacrosse League, the development plans call for 2 indoor dry pads, as well as an additional outdoor sports field.

Long has the development of players and coaches resided in Canada’s population centres of Ontario and British Columbia. Alberta has recently risen to become the developmental hotbed for Lacrosse players, supplying talented players and coaches to Canada’s national and international teams, as well as players to American Universities and Colleges through NCAA scholarship programs. This facility will now offer the lacrosse community a chance to raise the level of success of its participants.

These benefits have the potential of being extended to our youth’s greater appreciation of sports ethics, personal growth and development. Further, year-round training will offer greater potential for opportunities of excelling in sports to a possible professional level.

FACTS

The facility will be operated by the Calgary Winter Lacrosse Association; CWLL is a Not for Profit volunteer group who has been providing a year round dry floor facility for Lacrosse and other sporting groups.
The number of people playing Lacrosse in the City is approx 6,000. With this facility we expect the growth to exceed 10% per year.
The Site Location is Ogden Road and 80th Avenue SE.
Size of the site is 10 acres.
The complex will comprise of 2 Phases, each containing 2 full-size dry floor playing surfaces, for a total of 4 playing surfaces.
The site will also include one full-size field lacrosse sports field.
The building will also contain a sport shop, sports physio facility, sports training facility and community meeting rooms and offices.
Cost for Phase #1 is approximately $3.5 million, and Phase #2 approximately $3 million.
Funding for the facility will consist of pending Provincial Programs, the Calgary Business Community and the Friends of Lacrosse.
Naming rights for the building and rinks will be available as another source of funding.
The Calgary Lacrosse Community has a lot of history in Calgary and has been around for a long time. First played in 1884, Calgary was still a Fort and the Province was still a Territory!
Media information secession will be available on request.
