The Sylvan Lake Yetti will be hosting a Crossover Weekend tournament at the NexSource Centre on May 3 and May 4.
The Sylvan Lake Yetti are part of the Junior B Tier II North Division Lacrosse league.
Players are aged 17 to 21 and come from Sylvan Lake, Lacombe, Ponoka, Blackfalds, Innisfail, and other locations in Central Alberta.
During the tournament, all 16 teams from both the North and South divisions will come to play, Yetti manager Patricia Hanson said.
"Typically, the two divisions don't play each other until provincials, and in the last two years, the teams decided they wanted to see more competition with each other."
"So this is the second year, and the first year the Yetti have hosted the Crossover Tournament," Hanson said.
The Yetti began practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the beginning of April.
"Since the ice stays in so long, we have a quick turnaround to prepare for our season," Hanson said.
The team's first regular season game was on April 19, and the regular season goes until the second week of July.
"After the regular season, there are then two weeks of playoffs, and provincials are the August long weekend in Calgary this year," Hanson said.
To watch any of the games, adult tickets cost $5, and children get in for free.
"Lacrosse is a fast, exciting game, and anyone is welcome to come out and watch," she said.
During the competition, the Yetti will be playing on Saturday at 5 p.m. against the Southern Alberta Chaos in Arena 1, and on Sunday, the Yetti will play against the Strathmore Venom at 6:30 in Arena 2.
