Registration opens for annual BUCS 6s tournament

Two players line up for a face-off at BUCS 6s 2021

Teams are able to sign up for this year’s BUCS Lacrosse 6s Championships after British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) opened registration earlier today.

The annual competition, which made a triumphant return to the lacrosse calendar last year after its cancellation in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, is taking place on Sunday 16 October in its new home at Nottingham Trent University.

Since 2017, the competition has been held at Coombe Dingle Sports Complex in Bristol but, as is the custom, a new venue was sought for the 2022 edition.

Traditionally an eight-a-side tournament, the format was changed in 2021 to fit in with the new sixes version of lacrosse.

And the first winners of the amended BUCS Lacrosse 6s Championships were Nottingham University (women) and Loughborough University (men)

The registration period begins today (Tuesday 23 August) and will end on Tuesday 20 September at 11:59pm.

The Championships is an important part of the lacrosse calendar and gives university teams an additional opportunity for competition against teams from outside of their league and region with entries from all across the UK.
