It is not uncommon for National Lacrosse League professionals to be signed to a Quebéc SrB team, or teams they encounter in league crossover games.

Field Lacrosse is generally played in high schools, colleges, and universities, either at spring or at fall. There are also a few club leagues for field lacrosse in the Fédération de crosse du Québec . Many lacrosse programs in the FCQ only start in high school. Approximately 20 high schools, 5 colleges, and 10 universities register field lacrosse teams with the Fédération.
