Teams select minor lacrosse players throughout British Columbia who are in their second year of midget lacrosse, 15 or 16 years old. The order of selection depends on the final standings of the teams in the prior regular season. The last place team selects first, the second to last will choose second, and so on. Players aged 16–21 are eligible to play in the BCJALL. There is no limit to the amount of 21-year-olds on a teams rosters. Each team is permitted to carry only two non-British Columbian players.
