England Women's World Cup Training Squad Announced

England Women's World Cup Squad Announced

England Lacrosse is pleased to announce the England Women’s senior training squad selected for the forthcoming World Lacrosse Women’s World Championships 2022.

Following a series of trial weekends, a 32-player training squad has been put together by Head Coach Phil Collier and his team of backroom staff.

This squad will be whittled down and eventually make up the team heading to Towson, MD, USA for the 2022 Women’s World Cup in July, looking to build on their third place finish on home soil in 2017.

Since that famous win against Australia in the bronze medal match at the last World Championships, the England women’s senior team have gone on to win gold at the 2019 Women’s European Lacrosse Championships as well as overcoming the competition and finishing top at the inaugural Home Nations Sixes event.

Over the next nine months or so, the squad will meet for monthly training weekends in addition to practice fixtures, vying for a place on the final 18-player World Cup team.

The England women’s senior squad announcement comes at the same time as the unveiling of the England women’s under-23 squad for the 2021/22 season and both squads can be viewed in full below.
