Bromley Bobcats Lacrosse Club in South East London has launched a brand new girls’ team ahead of the 2025/26 season.
After being founded in 2022 to provide an exit route for children and young people playing lacrosse in schools in the local area, the club has gone from strength to strength over the past three years with teams at under 10, 12, 14, and 16 level.
Up to now, boys and girls have been welcomed at the club to play the men’s rules, wearing protective equipment, but for the 2025/26 season, Bromley is expanding into women’s rules and they’re on the look out for new players and donations of equipment such as goggles and sticks.
Led by Head Coaches Mike Barrett alongside coaches Craig Simkin, Ben Page-Laycock, and Liam Barrett, new players are welcome whether they’ve played the game before or are complete novices.
Barrett said:
“Having been involved in the club since its foundation in 2022, the plan has always been to include women’s rules teams at some point.
“With the growth of the club over the past three years, now is the perfect time to expand and add that aspect of the sport to our club.
“We can’t wait to welcome new players to the club as we continue to grow the game in our area of the country.”
At the moment, the club is purely for junior players, but the long term aim is for the club to expand further and incorporate adult teams that compete in South of England Men’s Lacrosse Association (SEMLA) and South East Women’s Lacrosse Association (SEWLA) leagues and competitions.
Bromley’s training sessions are held at Park House Rugby Club with upcoming sessions on Tuesday 9 and Tuesday 16 September.
