“Rep” is short for “Representative”, as in the teams that represent the club in competitions with other clubs. The Huntsville Hawks offer Rep programs in Box Lacrosse and Men’s Field Lacrosse. Players must be residentially bound to the Hunstville District Minor Lacrosse Association to play Rep.
In age divisions where there are enough players interested in Rep, a second Rep team (2 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.

Prior to submitting a release request, the player must be registered and paid with their resident OLA association for the current year.
The OLA “Release Request Form” for the current year must be used in all cases where a player wishes to be released from his/her current lacrosse association in order to sign and play for another association.
The player, the parent or the guardian must complete all fields in Section 1 of the form and send it to the President of the association from which the release is requested.
Only the information presented in Section 1 will be considered; new reasons for a release will not be entertained should the association’s decision be appealed at any other level.
The association must respond to the applicant within 72 hours to acknowledge receipt of the request for a release. Within a reasonable time, the association is responsible for setting a date, time and location for when a release hearing will be held so that the applicant may be present to formally discuss the request.
There may be a fee for a release hearing at the association level.
Following the hearing, the association must complete Section 2 of the form with written reasons for granting or denying the request and provide the applicant with the information necessary to appeal to the Zone, should the applicant qualify to do so under the OLA Appeal’s Process.
