Under the Lacrosse Canada Regulations, the Junior category is for players aged 21 and under. The other categories are: Senior 22 and over, U19 (17 and 18), U17 (15-16), U15 (13-14), U13 (11-12), U11 (9-10), U9 (7-8) and U7 (5-6). Junior Masters is 22-34 and Senior Masters is 35 and over.
Age is the age a player will be in the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) of the current playing season. The regulations give an example for U19: a player cannot turn 19 at any time during the calendar year to be eligible. Junior A is a level within the Junior category, so the same limit applies.
