The brand new England women’s box lacrosse team has opened an Intent to Trial form ahead of two open trial sessions later this month.

Taking place on Saturday 21 October (10am-4pm) and Sunday 22 October (12pm-4pm) at Oxford Academy School, Oxford, the open trial sessions are an opportunity for those players interested in being involved in the England squad to test out their skills.

For anyone wishing to try box lacrosse before the open trials, Southern Box Lacrosse (SBL) will be hosting an open session on Sunday 15 October also at the Oxford Academy School.

The sessions come just under a year before the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica, New York, USA, that will see a men’s and women’s competition running side by side for the very first time.

Led by recently announced Head Coach, Rob Clark, alongside Assistant Coach, Scott Joyner, the England women’s box lacrosse team is looking for well-rounded athletes with a range of lacrosse experience.

“Box lacrosse is fast,” Rob Clark said, “fast and furious is probably the easiest way to describe it. It’s full-on physical contact and players need to be fast of mind, fast of hand, and be able to think and play under pressure and relish that environment.”

With the game still in its infancy, the coaching team intends to maintain an open door to new and emerging talent.

All attendees at the open trial sessions will be asked to take a benchmark fitness test and equipment can be provided to those requiring it.
