Boundaries:

New in 2024 from the MMLL
The start of the 2024 Box Lacrosse season is around the corner and our Member Associations (MAs) have opened up for registration. For 2024, as MMLL and its MAs transition to a new registration and website system (RAMP) the MAs will be collecting proof of residence for all players - both new and returning. This will allow each MA to have the information on file and will save time in future registration periods.  Per the MMLL Regulations on Residency accepted documents for proof of residency are:

• Property tax bill where primary residency grant has been claimed
• Power bill
• Phone bill
• If none of the above documents can be provided because the parent/guardian rents and does not pay own utilities, then the following shall apply
  • A letter from the Landlord verifying rental agreement

Please note - All players must register with the minor Association based upon the area where they reside as of April1 of the playing season. Players may not play in any games under the jurisdiction of the MMLL before the player has registered with their member Association.
