England Lacrosse is excited to announce the 29-player England women’s box squad heading to Prague, Czechia, for the 2024 ShE-Box tournament.
Taking place from 19-22 April, the 2024 event will mark England’s debut at the competition after Southern Box Lacrosse’s Ravens competed for and won last year’s trophy.
The 29-player squad is made up of some of the best box lacrosse players in the country at the moment with the 2023 ShE-Box tournament marking England’s first ever competitive international fixtures.
England already know who their opponents will be after the competition announced matches against Hong Kong, Finland, Netherlands, Germany, and a Women’s Global Network team.
The competition will be the first chance for Head Coach Rob Clark, alongside his Assistant Coaches Scott Joyner, Don McGraw, and Millie Geddes, to assess his England squad in a competitive setting as he continues to prepare for September’s 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica, NY, USA.
27 of the 29-player squad heading to Prague were named in the 44-player England World Championship training squad announced in November last year, with Davina Emetulu and Tabitha Podger joining the squad for the ShE-Box tournament.
The wider 44-player World Championship training squad will be whittled down to just 23 players in due course.
