England’s men and women’s box teams take to the field over the weekend at the annual E-Box/ShE-Box events in Radotin, Czechia.

The ShE-Box event will mark the first ever competitive fixtures played by the new England women’s box team as they take on Hong Kong, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, and a Women’s Global Network team made up of Canadian players.

25 of the best women’s box lacrosse players in the country will head to Radotin as part of England’s preparations ahead of the inaugural World Lacrosse Women’s Box Championship in Utica, USA, in September.

At that competition, England will feature in Pool A alongside fellow ShE-Box competitors Netherlands and Hong Kong as well as formidable opponents USA and Haudenosaunee.

ShE-Box 2024 will give England Head Coach Rob Clark and his coaching staff an important look at the squad before he whittles the wider training squad down to just 23 players in the summer.

The men’s E-Box competition will see England take on Finland, Czechia, and Canada U20s as they also look to continue preparations ahead of the World Championship in September.

Head Coach Walt Christianson will want to look at his team in a competitive environment as he deliberates over his final 23-player World Championship squad.

His side will be looking to challenge at the top end of the competition after a fourth-place finish in 2019 that saw them push USA all the way in the bronze medal match and a first major title at the European Championship two years ago.
