University Lacrosse Officer Programme

Over the last decade, lacrosse has been one of the fastest growing sports in universities across England with a 157% increase in BUCS teams since 2007.

The purpose of the University Lacrosse Officer Programme is to:

  • Further support and develop the lacrosse population at university

  • Link with local clubs and residents near the university

  • Support players’ transition from education to employment, so individuals continue to be part of the lacrosse community

“We are looking forward to working with our next cohort of ULOs to continue to build the strong university sector following two years of limited activity”
— Nik Roberts, England Lacrosse
