British Lacrosse has announced its women’s and men’s squads to attend the inaugural USA Lacrosse Experience as well as a women’s squad to take part in the 2024 Canada Super Sixes event.
45 British players have been selected in total as British Lacrosse truly begins its journey towards the LA 2028 Olympic Games in four years’ time.
Taking place from 11-13 October at Indiana University, Indianapolis, USA, the first ever USA Lacrosse Experience will see British Lacrosse play USA, Puerto Rico, and Colombia in a round robin competition playing the Olympic sixes version of the sport.
Also taking place during the same time period, the Canada Super Sixes will see British Lacrosse take on some of the best sixes teams in the world in Vancouver.
Last year’s event saw USA defeat Canada 8-7 in the final to lift the title with Haudenosaunee picking up bronze after a 21-4 victory over Kenya.
The two events mark the first competitive outings for British Lacrosse teams since the conclusion of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
British Lacrosse Men’s Head Coach Tom Wenham said:
“The USA Lacrosse Experience gives us an excellent opportunity to test ourselves against top-level opposition. We’re looking forward to the challenge and see this as vital stepping stone on our journey towards Olympic qualification.”
British Lacrosse Women’s Head Coach Phil Collier said:
“British Lacrosse is committed to developing a world leading sixes programme which is evident in the fact that we are able to send two equal strength teams to compete in two tournaments over the same weekend. We see the October Super Sixes tournaments as a key step in our preparations for the 2025 European Sixes Championships in March and The World Games in August.”
