British Lacrosse has named their men’s and women’s squads to compete at the World Lacrosse Super Sixes in Hong Kong, China at the end of the year.

The first squads to be revealed since it was announced that Sixes Lacrosse will feature at the LA28 Olympic Games, both 12-player British Lacrosse teams feature a host of experienced players as well as several up and coming young athletes.

World Lacrosse describes the Hong Kong Super Sixes as the “highest-level world lacrosse sixes format tournament on an international level”, featuring up to 16 teams (eight men's and eight women's) competing in a three-day competition.

The Hong Kong Super Sixes will showcase the Sixes Lacrosse format of the game that features six players on each team, a smaller pitch, fewer pitch markings, and a 30-second shot clock.

Leslie Rance, Chair of British Lacrosse said:

“Firstly, on behalf of the Board, our thanks to all the athletes who participated in the selection process, and congratulations to those chosen to represent British Lacrosse at the Super Sixes Tournament in Hong Kong.

“We are immensely proud of our athletes and wish them the best. With the recent IOC announcement welcoming lacrosse to participate at LA28, our attention is now firmly on qualifying for that tournament.

“International competitions and tournament experience will be a critical part of our preparation and qualification journey. Hong Kong now serves as the first of many stepping stones for our teams with clear Olympic aspirations”

Taking place from 29-31 December in Aberdeen, Hong Kong, the competition marks the start of British Lacrosse’s journey ahead of the Olympic Games in LA in five year’s time.
