University Aspire squads announced ahead of Algarve sevens
The England Lacrosse University Aspire Programme has announced its men’s and women’s squads to take part in this weekend’s Algarve Sevens Sports Festival in Portugal.
Taking place from 5-8 June, the Algarve Sevens Sports Festival, despite its name, will showcase Sixes Lacrosse alongside other sports such as rugby sevens, golf, netball, padel, beach hockey, and open water swimming.
Hosted at the Vila Real de Santo Antonio Sports Complex, the lacrosse tournament will take place on Sunday 7 June with the England Lacrosse University Aspire Men’s Squad taking on Scotland Blue, Trent Mountain State, and Scotland White and the Women’s Squad playing Scotland and Hillcroft University.
The Algarve Sevens Sports Festival is an international multi-sport event held every June in the Algarve, Portugal. It brings together over 150 teams and more than 2,500 athletes for a weekend of sport by the coast.
A culmination of a whole season of work by the members of the England Lacrosse University Aspire Programme, the Algarve Sevens will give the 24 athletes involved the opportunity to put the skills they’ve learned into competitive practice.
