Can I register offline?
No, all registration should be completed via our website. We accept Debit/Credit Cards via the website.
Can I register after March 31st?
Yes you may but Dartmouth has to provide the Metro Minor Lacrosse Association an indication of the number of teams we will have in each age division. We may not be able to accommodate you on a team the later you register. Fees also increase, so register early.
When will registration be open for 2025 season?
Registration is now open.
What levels of play are available in minor lacrosse?
Players play either A or B at U13 and U15. Currently MMLL doesn't have these levels for U11 or U17 programs. This may change prior to the start of any season.
These levels equate to "Rep" and "House" in other sports.
I'd like to play Field Lacrosse. Can I register through the Dartmouth Bandits?
Field Lacrosse is under the Nova Scotia Field Lacrosse League for CO-ED and Bluenose Lacrosse for Girls. Websites are www.nsfll.ca and www.bluenoselacrosse.ca Field runs from September-November with a pre-season beginning in August. Registration typically begins in early July.
Where do I find lacrosse equipment?
Lacrosse is experiencing a resurgence in Nova Scotia and most sporting goods stores will carry some form of lacrosse gear. We recommend Sportswheels in Sackville, Cleves and SportChek locations. Gear can also be purchased through the web on sites like Amazon and National Sports. Some hockey gear can be used as well.
As a parent, I have never played Lacrosse before but want to help out where I can. What can I do?
Just about anything you want to! Because lacrosse is enjoying such a rapid growth, there are lots of opportunity at the team, club, association or provincial level to get involved and help out. If you have experience as a coach in another sport and wish to get involved, we will provide you with a course, pair you up with another person who knows the game and provide mentorship and guidance throughout the season. Each coach and manager will learn how to use the Bandits lacrosse administration system to provide a web based communication tool to help manage your team. This includes team and parent emailings, scheduling tools, player profiles and statistics.
If you want to try the game, there is a non-contact, co-ed Masters League via Lacrosse Nova Scotia.
I am a hockey referee. Can I referee lacrosse?
We can provide you with a course and put you on the path to certification to help keep those extra funds coming in. Every year we send one of our referees to the nationals to reach the next level of certification and with more than 100 lacrosse games a week in HRM, there are lots of opportunities to officiate.
What do you do with the information on the registration forms?
The information on the forms is used by Dartmouth Bandits to manage the lacrosse season. Personal information is guarded and accessible only to Dartmouth Bandits executive.
The information that you provide will only be shared with the directors, officers, volunteers, coaches and officials of the Dartmouth Bandits Lacrosse Club, and our governing agents (Canadian Lacrosse Association/Lacrosse Nova Scotia/Metro Minor Lacrosse League) AND only as required. We do not sell or rent your personal information to anyone.
My child wants to play as a goalie but I dont have any equipment. What should I do?
No problem. We can help there too! The only thing we ask is that Goalie equipment provided by the association must be returned in good condition at the end of the season. We will even provide special coaching sessions to help new goalies get established.
My daughter wants to play lacrosse, what are her options?
In recent years, we have been able to offer all girls lacrosse teams at U13-U17. Last season we added a U11 program and we were awarded a Junior A Female team. We offer all female try lacrosse sessions as well.
We're excited to bring more female players into our sport.
How do I find out about game schedules/practices?
Once your player is rostered, the information will be available via your App. It's also posted on our website which is synced with MMLL to ensure you're kept up to date when a game is rescheduled.
My player is injured and I need to get a refund. Who do I contact?
Please email treasurer@dartmouthbandits.com for further assistance.
I live outside the Dartmouth Bandits boundaries? Can I register with your organization anyway?
No, you must register with the association where you reside. You can request a transfer via the process found here: https://mmll.ca/content/regulations#Regulation%205
