*NEW* 2026 RELEASE POLICY - PLEASE READ BEFORE SUBMITTING A RELEASE FORM

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:
