Student Membership

People playing lacrosse at university

What is it?

England Lacrosse offer Student Membership providing benefits to students playing the game at a reduced cost.

The annual paid membership for lacrosse participants through England Lacrosse also provides regional associations with more resourcing to develop the sport in their areas, including support for university teams.

Please note each university is also still required to comply with the BUCS regulation that your university club completes an affiliation to England Lacrosse.  If your university has not completed their affiliation, please click here.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR ME?

BUCS Leagues and Competitions

It is not compulsory for students who play lacrosse only within BUCS competition to hold a valid England Lacrosse membership card, however it is recommended to make sure you receive access to the insurance package, and exclusive membership benefits.

As of the 2019/20 season, it is now compulsory for anyone officiating lacrosse within BUCS competitions to hold a valid membership as well as the appropriate up-to-date qualifications to ensure they are fully covered while being in charge of a fixture.

We also highly recommend that students coaching lacrosse hold a valid membership as well as the appropriate qualifications to ensure that you are fully covered while being involved with lacrosse.

BUCS clearly outline in their Rules & Regulations the requirements for officiating for each university level.

Students also playing lacrosse in England Lacrosse leagues (NEMLA, SEMLA, etc) and competitions will be required to hold a valid membership.
