The University of Warwick Lacrosse Club was Club of the Year (09/10) and has continued its success ever since. The Club is very active both on and off the pitch and has more than doubled in size in the last few years. Warwick Lacrosse now consists of two men's teams, two women's teams and two mixed lacrosse teams.
The women's 1st team plays in the BUCS Northern Premiership league, reaching 4th place last season – a tremendous achievement given it was their first time in the Premiership. The women's 2nd team, now playing in the BUCS Midlands 2A conference league, consists mainly of beginners, and so is a great way to get involved in the sport, the club and to play friendly matches against other University teams.
The men's 1st team plays in the BUCS Southern Premiership league, and narrowly missed out on 1st place last season, also their first in the Premiership. The team plays against some of the best opposition in the country and is extremely highly regarded, despite nearly all its members only starting lacrosse at Warwick. The men's 2nd team competes in the SEMLA Midlands league. Similarly to the women's 2nd team, it consists mainly of beginners so it's an ideal opportunity to start something new and get regular competitive matches.
The 1st mixed team has dominated the league for several consecutive years and won a well-deserved 1st place last season. The 2nd mixed team is again, ideal for beginners.
One of the Club's biggest assets is being able to cater to and welcome players of every ability, from the complete novice to the experienced player.
The Club has two tours every year, a mini-tour at Christmas, and a week-long tour in the Easter break, usually to somewhere in Spain! We meet for a renowned social every Wednesday, train 2/3 times a week, and play women's matches on Wednesdays, men's Wednesdays and Saturdays and mixed matches on Sundays. We very much welcome players of all standards, men and women, and particularly beginners.
Lacrosse is a unique sport - offically the fastest game on two feet – and in our opinion, the most exciting sport out there. We guarantee you a welcoming atmosphere, unrivalled fun and team spirit, and most certainly a major part to play in the women's, mixed and men's teams! Come and join this successful and exciting club!
