About Us
Welcome to the Women's Lacrosse Club
Women’s Lacrosse is an exciting and dynamic game for players of all abilities and fitness levels. It does not matter if you have never even held a lacrosse stick before… we can guarantee you’ll fall in love with it the same way we all did!
Being a part of our team can be an enriching and fulfilling experience, offering a combination of physical, social and personal growth opportunities to positively impact your time at university.
The majority of our members had never played before University but have built up skills and confidence through weekly training sessions and matches, leading to our 2022/23 team making it to the SE Cup final. We are the perfect team for you if you want to try out a new sport, get fit and make new friends!
We train with our coach on Monday evenings and have games most Wednesdays, and we are also hoping to add a new stick skills-based session into our weekly schedule this year. We hold socials weekly, and throughout the year host many events, such as movie nights or firework watching and ice-skating, for our girls to enjoy.
We are a friendly team and welcome anyone to come and give Lacrosse a try.
