Please note, registration for the mixed lacrosse leagues 2020/21 has now closed.
England Lacrosse are excited to invite university lacrosse teams from around the country to join the EL local mixed lacrosse leagues for the 2020/21 season.
This news comes in response to British Universities & Colleges Sport’s (BUCS) decision to suspend the start of their 2020/21 season until January 2021 at the earliest.
As Government guidance in response to the coronavirus pandemic continues to move towards more relaxed restrictions and, indeed, with an adapted version of lacrosse being given the go-ahead to start on Saturday (1 August), England Lacrosse are looking to offer universities fun, structured competition against other university teams in their local area.
We will adapt our existing regional mixed lacrosse leagues in the south east and midlands to create more localised competitions consisting three to four teams within a close geographical proximity.
These localised competitions will initially take place from October to December 2020 and teams who enter will be given the option to continue in their competition in the new year (January to March 2021), with what will hopefully be more regional-based competition.
All the competitions will be administered centrally by us at England Lacrosse, with regional support available where necessary.
The local mixed leagues will be open to all universities and we’ll aim to accommodate all teams who’d like to participate.
Teams will be entered into a competition local to them and fixtures will be scheduled for home and away games within their local league.
Fixtures after Christmas will depend on the teams who remain in the competition but will hopefully see wider regional fixtures and knockout competition.
All latest Government and England Lacrosse guidance MUST be adhered to at all times and can be found HERE.
