REP BOX
-
“Rep” is short for “Representative”, as in the teams that represent the club in competitions with other clubs. Orangeville offers Rep programs in Box Lacrosse, Field Lacrosse, and Women’s Field Lacrosse. Players must be residentially bound to the club to play Rep.
In age divisions where there are enough players interested in Rep, a second Rep team is also established. Rep teams are rated annually from “A” to “E” and participate in league play and provincials under the Ontario Lacrosse Association.
Rep Box is introduced at U7 while Rep Field and Women’s Field are introduced at U9.

The Orangeville Northmen Refund Policy applies to registration fees paid directly to the Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club. The principle behind our refund policy is to allow a reasonable period of time following registration for participants to withdraw, while still safeguarding the long-term financial stability of our programs.
The Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club commits to program expenditure based on registrations. The expenses are not always recoverable to the program if/when a member withdraws. All refund requests must be made in writing or email to the the Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club Registrar by the individual who paid the fee(s).
An administrative fee will be charged on approved refunds. The Administration Fee will be set annually by the club to reflect deductions that are not received by the club as part of the registration payment (Insurance, OLA Registration Fees, etc.) and that are not refunded to the club by the OLA.
The amount of any refund, including special or extenuating circumstances, is at the discretion of the the Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club executive.
The Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club shall not be responsible for any monies paid directly to a team, team coach, or team official, and the Orangeville Northmen Minor Lacrosse Club shall not entertain requests for any such refunds.
