2021 Tiering Document
CDLA Tiering Format 2021
- 6U (Mini Tyke) and 8U (Tyke) will not be tiered but will maintain parity on teams within each club.
- 12U (Peewee), 14U (Bantam) and 16U (Midget) will be tiered into levels of A, B, and C to allow experienced players improved competition and less experienced players a better entry-level playing experience.
- Female Lacrosse will tier some age groups (determined each season) into a competitive and developmental division. Regardless of the division, all teams in the same division will be 'parity' teams.
- When 2 or more teams are placed in the same division they must be parity.
*New for the 2021 season the 12U division is split into A1, A2, B & C divisions.
