Lacrosse (BL)

About

Barts Mixed Lacrosse Club. Completely new and intermediate level play - all welcome!

Barts and The London Mixed Lacrosse

BL Lacrosse is a friendly and welcoming environment for everyone at university. Since Lacrosse isn’t a common sport at sixth form, we don’t expect any level of prior experience and pride ourselves on teaching anyone the wonderful sport that is Lacrosse! We only ask that each member throws themselves into the BL Lacrosse community, has fun, and enjoys themselves.

We also have a great selection of socials, catering to everyone – You can join us for our weekly tables session at The Griff, or if that’s not your thing maybe join us for one of our games nights!

 

Taster Session

Our FREE taster session will be run in September, make sure to follow our Instagram page to keep up with updates.

This session will just be an introduction to lacrosse for people who have never played (or even heard of) the sport before. There is no selection process to join the team and it’s just a bit of fun to get to know each other and the sport.

You should turn up in sports attire (and bring a gumshield or lacrosse stick if you have either of those too). We will have some lacrosse sticks available for those who are new to the sport.

 

Training

Trainings are on Tuesdays at St Pauls Way Trust School, from 7pm-9:00pm.

We cater our training to both new players learning basic skills, such as ball control, passing and shooting - as well as to experienced players learning about more advanced techniques and match tactics, allowing everyone to develop at their own pace.

You do not need to have any special equipment beyond a gum shield. Sticks and balls will be provided, but do bring your own if you have one!

We ask that you are at least committed to the Tuesday training sessions, but we strongly encourage you to play in as many matches as you can throughout the year – It’s great fun and a really good way to see yourself develop. (dates for these will be released on the groupchat as we know them). 

 

Competitions

BL Lacrosse competes in the LUSL League, which means our matches usually take place around midday on Saturdays.

Our home field is Chislehurst Playing Field, with each university having a different home ground. We will coordinate travel to games, but sometimes this will involve using public transport.

 

Personal Fitness

As our club grows it becomes more important for us to offer personal fitness options. Our main offering is the weekly fitness sessions done at a nearby park to keep team fitness up for matches, allowing us to focus more on technical aspects at training. We also have contingencies for any lockdowns occurring again in first term for online training sessions.

The QMSU also offers a gym on the Mile End campus, QMotion, as well as a sister-gym in Charterhouse Square, Fitness to Practice, both with competitive student membership rates. This membership is different from the Lacrosse yearly subs but is ideal if you want an on-campus gym.
