England men’s box lacrosse has opened an intent to trial form as it gets ready to hold open trials ahead of the 2024 World Box Lacrosse Championships in Utica, New York, USA.
There are currently three open trial sessions including two at the Ice Arena in Sheffield on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October and one at the Oxford Academy in Oxford on Saturday 28 October.
A fourth open trial session will be held as part of the final game in the 2023 North v South box lacrosse series on Sunday 29 October.
Head Coach, Walt Christianson and his coaching staff will be looking for the best players in England to take part in the open trials as they look to continue their run of good form after last year’s European Championship victory.
Taking place between 20-29 September next year, the 2024 World Box Lacrosse Championships will be the first to hold a men’s and women’s competition concurrently, with the women’s tournament being the first ever world event involving international women’s teams.
At the last World Box Lacrosse Championship in 2019, England finished fourth, losing out on third place and a bronze medal after a narrow 8-11 defeat to USA.
Please note, submission of the intent to trial form is not a commitment to trial; it will allow the men’s management team to plan the open trial sessions properly and arrange for Head Coach Walt Christianson to be in attendance.
If you are unable to attend any of the trial dates, are a UK resident, and want to be considered for selection, please contact englandboxlacrosse@gmail.com.
