England under-20 men's programme initial assessment weekend to take place in October

England Lacrosse is delighted to announce that an England under-20 men’s programme initial assessment weekend will take place on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October 2023.

The new England under-20 men’s programme will support 30-40 of the highest potential and dedicated athletes as a way of bridging the gap between the Boys’ Academy and senior men’s programme.

It will be run on a 12-month cyclical schedule with the cohort reviewed annually by Head Coach Mike Armstrong and his coaching team.

Access to the England under-20 men’s programme will be merit-based and any athletes wishing to be assessed* for the 2023-24 cohort who are not already a part of the Boys’ Academy can express their interest by sending an email to [email protected]

Once assessed and selected, a formal training weekend for the programme will take place on Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 November 2023.

*Athletes who were born on or after 1 September 2003 are eligible to express their interest in being assessed.
