Training squad for 2023 Men's World Championship announced

England Lacrosse is pleased to announce the England men’s training squad ahead of the 2023 World Lacrosse Men’s World Championship in San Diego, USA.

Head Coach, Doug Shanahan, along with his coaching team, has completed his evaluations following assessment weekends earlier this year and selected his initial 46-strong group to take forward ahead of the Championship scheduled for late July.

This squad will be whittled down to 30 players in January before a final Championship squad of 23 will be chosen and announced in March.

The 2023 World Championship will take place between 21 June and 1 July at San Diego State University and England will be looking to build on their impressive fifth place finish at the 2018 World Championship.

Doug would like to congratulate everyone who’s been included in the training squad and thank everyone who attended the assessment weekends.

Please note, there are still additional UK- and overseas-based players yet to be assessed who will also be considered for the final squad.

A full schedule for the Championship is pending but you can follow updates HERE.
