OLA Release Procedures
*NEW* 2024 RELEASE POLICY - PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A RELEASE FORM
Please send completed release requests to the OMLA President after February 15th. There is a $25 Player Release fee payable to OMLA prior to the release hearing.
Prior to any release request, the player must be registered with the association for the current year. The current year OLA ‘Release Request Form’ must be used in all cases where a player wishes to be released from his/her current Lacrosse association, to sign and play with another association. The Player, a Parent or Guardian must complete section 1 including all reasons and deliver it to the President of the association from which the release is requested, with a copy also being sent to the Zone Director.
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE FROM THE OLA RULES AND REGULATIONS:
MR2.08(a)
A player resident in a community represented by a rep club entered in a category for which he is eligible to play, must register with that club except where such player’s services are waived by that club subject to the provisions of MR3.11.
NOTE: Any player who has not registered with their resident association by the following dates will be ineligible for a rep release. If a club folds a team for which the player would have been eligible, the player will not be eligible for a release under MR2.08(b).
