UNIVERSITIES
University Lacrosse in the UK is run by British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) and is now one of the most played sports at university with over 230 teams competing in BUCS Lacrosse during every season.
There are 15 women’s and 11 men’s leagues covering the whole country and running from late September until March each year.

With so many leagues, teams, and players, the standard of lacrosse continues to grow year on year and the finals at the annual BUCS Big Wednesday is one of the most hotly anticipated events in the lacrosse calendar.
BUCS, in partnership with England Lacrosse, also runs an annual Sixes tournament which invites university teams from all over the UK to compete.
Information about the competition can be found over on the BUCS website and the date for the next competition is Sunday 19th October at Platt Lane Sports Complex, Manchester.
England Lacrosse also runs a University Lacrosse Officer programme that sees support given to over 30 students working in universities to increase participation and enhance the lacrosse experience particularly for students to play the sport outside of the competitive league structures.
