European Lacrosse Announce EuroLax Sixes Cup

European Lacrosse Announce EuroLax Sixes Cup

The European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) has announced it will be hosting a very special event in early 2022, using the new and proposed Olympic six-a-side version of lacrosse.

The EuroLax Sixes Cup will welcome international teams from all over Europe to play in the “first ever international European-based sixes event for national teams.”

A statement, initially released by Portugal Lacrosse, said the event will take place on the 25, 26, and 27 February 2022 with Vila Real de Santo Antonio in Algarve acting as the inaugural host city.

The statement went on to say that all European national teams are welcome and to contact Portugal Lacrosse via email at info@portugal-lacrosse.pt should they want any more information.

The announcement of the EuroLax Sixes Cup comes after the successful launch, by England Lacrosse, of The Fly last year which welcomed the best athletes from the UK to compete against each other in a knockout tournament, playing the sixes format of the game.

Details of The Fly 2022 as well as how you can apply to be a coach at the event can be found HERE.

European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) Launch Inclusion Survey

European Lacrosse Federation (ELF) Launch Inclusion Survey

The European Lacrosse Federation (ELF), the governing body of men’s and women’s lacrosse in Europe, has launched an inclusion survey which hopes to “measure challenges and opportunities related to diversity and inclusion in member countries' lacrosse programmes.”

The survey, which opened in late 2020, asks about individual’s thoughts and experiences around inclusion and diversity within lacrosse “to tackle barriers and empower us to build and celebrate lacrosse environments that are inclusive of everyone”; there’s also a section about discrimination, bullying, abusive language, and COVID-19.

European Lacrosse say the survey will take no more than 10 minutes to complete and all responses will be evaluated anonymously.
