Aspire Nominations

Your star athletes are our future. 

And now, they could be future Olympians too. With Sixes lacrosse heading for LA 2028, there’s never been a more exciting time to join Aspire. It’s the only athlete development programme for rising lacrosse stars in the UK — and that makes it your athletes’ best route to the top. Put them forward, and help us take the world by storm. 

To be the best, we need the best

We want exceptional young sports people with the strength, speed, agility and resolve they need to thrive on our national teams — whether or not they’ve played lacrosse before. Most of all, we’re looking for power and potential. But our scoring criteria give you an idea of the kind of athlete that will thrive on Aspire. If you know someone who ticks the boxes, we want to know them too.

We look for…

• Strong decision-making under pressure

• Ability to influence attack and defence

• Rapid, controlled and coordinated movement

• Persistence

Put them forward

We take nominations from sports clubs, coaches, schools and universities. Nominate an athlete by submitting a nomination form, including their name, school or club, and location. We’ll then invite them to their nearest County, Regional or National Academy assessment weekend, depending on their age and ability. For more on nominations and to stay up to date with the deadlines, sign up to the Aspire mailing list.
