With just 50 days to go until the National Schools Lacrosse Championships returns to Aldershot Garrison in March, here are four (of many) reasons why you should make the trip to Hampshire to watch the best school lacrosse England has to offer in 2025:
England's premier schools lacrosse competition
The National Schools Lacrosse Championships is now into its 81st year and has been a showcase of the best schools lacrosse since 1944 when Bedford Technical College won the inaugural competition. With over 2000 of the best young lacrosse talent from over 50 schools taking part in this year's competition, it's certainly not to be missed!
Over 150 games of lacrosse each day
With over 50 schools from all over the country taking part, there are naturally a huge number of games to fit in. Each match will be shorter than a traditional game of lacrosse at 16-minutes, allowing us to pack in as much lacrosse as possible and allowing you to take in an incredible amount of sport.
A Pathway to International Lacrosse
Over the past 81 years, hundreds of thousands of young players and coaches have featured at the National Schools Lacrosse Championships including many athletes who have gone on to play for their country on the international stage. In recent years, England’s Claire Faram, Emilie Chandler, Laura Merrifield, Dylan Whittington, Emma Savage, Jemma Thompson, Grace Connor, and Honor Ashby to name a few have all took part in the event in a playing or coaching capacity proving that the National Schools Lacrosse Championships is truly the place to see the next generation of talent.
Partners, partners, and more partners
Our exclusive fan village at the National Schools Lacrosse Championships features everything you’d expect such as food and drinks vendors but we reckon you’ll visit for a coffee and stay for our many England Lacrosse partners who’ll have stalls during the competition. England Lacrosse Official Kit Supplier Kukri, Sports Bra Supplier boobydoo, and Tour Partner Sweet Chariot will all be looking to talk to you about their latest offers and lacrosse equipment providers Northern Soul and UK Lacrosse will be showcasing their products too.
Tickets from as little as £13.75
For England Lacrosse members and those who attended last year’s event, tickets for this year’s Championships can be bought from just £13.75 for a limited time only. There’ll also a £22 Saturday/Sunday weekend pass available for a limited time only too (a saving of £5.50!). That means you can watch as much lacrosse as you can shake a stick at as well as experience our exclusive fan area with food, drinks, merchandise, lax equipment, and much much more.
The 2025 National Schools Lacrosse Championships will take place at Aldershot Garrison Sports Centre, Aldershot, Hampshire from Saturday 8 to Tuesday 11 March with ticket news coming very soon!
