Canada box lacrosse star, Megan Kinna, will travel to Macclesfield and Oxford on Saturday and Sunday respectively to deliver two special women’s box lacrosse sessions ahead of next year’s proposed Women’s World Box Lacrosse Championship.
Both sessions cost £20 to attend and will take place from 1pm-4pm with the first session on Saturday 15 April at Macclesfield RUFC in the north of England followed by a second on Sunday 16 April at the Oxford Academy in the south.
Kinna will be delivering the sessions and giving interested women’s box players in England the opportunity to learn from her vast experience in the box format.
Having started playing lacrosse at the age of four, Kinna quickly became a valued player for Team British Columbia girls box lacrosse helping them to three box lacrosse national championship titles in a row (2012, 2013, 2014); during this time, Kinna also contributed to British Columbia’s 2012 national championship-winning field lacrosse side.
It was around this time, during her high school years, that Kinna began playing for the Maple Ridge Burrards where she played for 14 years including eight years in their boys box lacrosse team.
As she moved on to college, and following a gold medal win at the 2015 U19 Women’s World Lacrosse Championship, Kinna became an ever-present for Northwestern University where she started all their competitive games between 2017 and 2020 becoming a regular goal-scorer and earning herself a spot in the Canada senior team for the 2017 Women’s World Lacrosse Championship.
In that tournament, she played in all eight games, including the final defeat to USA, scoring six and creating five and she has since played in two more World Championships plus two World Games, most recently helping Canada to the gold medal at the 2022 World Games in Birmingham, Alabama, USA.
