What Do You Need To Bring?
New Player?
Just bring yourself, training shoes and comfortable clothes. Lacrosse is an energetic game with plenty of running around. Also, it is sensible to bring some water / cold drink with you. We will provide you with any equipment that you need and if you decide that after your first free session you want to continue we can lend you a stick to use at training sessions for the entire season.
Existing player?
Bring yourself and any equipment that you have. If you don't have a stick we can supply one to use for the practice sessions for the season. We will also supply you with a mouth guard if you don't have one.

History of the Game in NZ
Lacrosse in New Zealand started in 2000 with the formation of a men's lacrosse league in Auckland. The New Zealand Women's Lacrosse Association was formed a year later in 2001 and established a women's league in Auckland.
From the very beginning, the NZWLA appointed Junior Development Officers to promote the sport in schools and we now have a very successful school league that runs between April and July and a one day schools tournament. The number of participating schools has grown from 4 to 20 in just four years.
New Zealand sent a Women's team to the World Cup in 2005 for the first time and more recently to the 2009 World Cup where they achieved their first international win.
