The England women’s under-20 World Championship training squad has arrived in Florida, USA for an overseas tour as they ramp up their preparations ahead of this summer’s 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship.

During the six day tour, the England women’s under-20 training squad will play five scrimmages against four American college teams.

They’ll take part in training sessions, strength & conditioning sessions, and experience a general performance atmosphere similar to the one they will face in Hong Kong, China during the World Championship.

It’s not all work, however, as the tour presents a fantastic opportunity for the players to get to know one another better, make connections with players from the United States, and see a different part of the world.

The 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship takes place from 15 to 25 August in Hong Kong, China and 20 teams including England are confirmed to be taking part.

England are looking to back up their 2022 European Championship win with a strong performance against some of the best young lacrosse talent in the world.
