Women's Field Lacrosse is a quick, free-flowing game which is easy to understand and watch. The game is played on a 100m x 55m field with 12 players aside on the field. The full roster of a Women's Field team is 16-20 players.

Unlike Men's Field or Box Lacrosse, Women's Field is a non-contact sport. There is no aggressive checking with either the stick or the body. This results in a game which has added emphasis on a fast-paced, polished game centred on ball movement.

The International Federation of Women's Lacrosse Associations sanctions international championships at the junior and senior level on a four year cycle. Canada consistently places in the top four positions and performances at the last two championships have clearly shown the promise of great things to come.

The Women's Field program is the youngest of the three Lacrosse programs offered in the province, but the fastest growing with dedicated volunteers at the league and Lacrosse Nova Scotia Board level leading the way.
