Registration is now open for England Lacrosse’s brand new University Aspire Programme that aims to identify men’s athletes who are not currently a part of any England Lacrosse programmes but have the potential to progress into the England Lacrosse Perform Programme.
Three University Aspire Programme assessment days will take place across the country on Sunday 12 November (North Burnley College), Sunday 19 November (Loughborough University), and Sunday 26 November (Bath Lacrosse Club).
The assessment days will include speed and agility testing and up to four hours of lacrosse coaching from experienced coaches from within the men's performance programme.
Once an initial training group has been formed from those who have been assessed, the University Aspire Programme will meet to train four times per year between December and April/May.
The squad will be run in parallel with the England men’s national performance squad and will work towards the selection of a squad for an annual European tour starting in July 2024.
The cost of attending an assessment day is £20 and all players attending the days will receive an England Lacrosse shooting shirt.
Please note, the University Aspire Programme is for those men’s athletes who are not already a part of any England Lacrosse programmes but who believe they have the potential to.
