We are pleased annouce that one of our junior players, Taylor Konowe, will be representing Canterbury and the South Island in the NZ U15 Lacrosse team next month.

We are happy to announce that this year we will be getting started with the new Lacrosse Season in Christchurch on Sunday September 12th from 2-4pm.

Our next youth Lacrosse clinic will be held this Sunday from 11am to 12:30pm at Christchurch Boys High School on the Hockey astro turf on Kahu Road. All juniors welcome from 10 years and up. There is no cost, please bring suitable shoes and a drink. All equipment will be supplied.

It always amazes me how we in the South Island are the last to know anything about  what is going on with NZ Lacrosse. And here I am on the NZ Lacrosse website today and see this little news item "NZ Womens' Lacrosse World Cup Squad 2013". 

Roar Lacrosse is now taking registrations for Men's, Women's and junior teams. We plan to take teams at all levels to the NZ National Lacrosse tournament in Hamilton late in January, So if you are interested register now.

This weekend Coaches from Canterbury Lacrosse are running a clinic at Otago university for interested players. This has been organised over the past 2 or 3 weeks.

This a huge development in mens lacrosse in New Zealand and the south Island specifically. Thanks to Coaches Jim Collins and Bill Brown for volunteering their time.

Last night the USA beat Canada 12-10 to regain the top world ranking in the Mens World Lacrosse championships in Manchester England.  The teams started out very evenly with a strong 3rd quarter to the Canadians 4-0. Going into the 4th quarter it was all even at 8-8 with the USA coming out on top in the final quarter to take the championship.
