British Lacrosse has announced England’s Nick DeCaprio and Tom Bracegirdle as GB captain and assistant captain respectively ahead of the 2026 European Sixes Lacrosse Championships in Salou, Spain later this month.
Originally hailing from New Jersey, USA, 29-year-old DeCaprio has represented England in the past two major tournaments, helping the Lions to a third place finish at the 2025 European Championship in Wroclaw, Poland where he also made the All-European Team.
Bracegirdle, 33, has been one of the top athletes in England for the past decade playing in no fewer than five major tournaments across the field and box lacrosse disciplines, winning two European titles.
Both players have been a part of the GB training squad for a while now with Bracegirdle a member of the squad that travelled to Alabama, USA to compete in The World Games 2022, finishing fourth.
DeCaprio and Bracegirdle will lead the 12-player GB squad in the first stage of LA28 Olympic qualifying at the 2026 European Sixes Lacrosse Championships in Salou, Spain from 10-18 November.
Drawn in Pool A, GB will take on Türkiye, Spain, Poland, and Latvia in their bid to finish in the top five and qualify for the 2027 World Lacrosse Sixes Championships where a place at the 2028 Olympic Games is up for grabs.
