Men's Lacrosse
Men's lacrosse in Britain is divided into Northern and Southern Leagues, each with so-called Flags competitions at the end of each Winter season. In addition to the regular 10-a-side season there are other tournaments, such as those at Stockport and Bath, which use a 6-a-side or 8-a-side format and shorter games.
Men's North is governed by NEMLA (North of England Men's Lacrosse Association) and comprises a Premiership and four further Senior Divisions. There is also a separate under-19 division.
Men's South is governed by SEMLA (South of England Men's Lacrosse Association) and comprises a Premier Division, two West Divisions (including South Wales), Midlands Division, and two East Divisions.
The main focus of men's lacrosse popularity in Britain is the North-West of England, around the Manchester area. This is reflected by its selection to host the men's world championships in 1978 and 1994, and again for the forthcoming 2010 world championships. A second centre is in the South of England, especially around the London area.
Men's lacrosse is a common minority sport in Universities, which along with club-based youth programs, provide the majority of newcomers with their first experiences of the sport. A small number of private schools have strong traditions, but most schools can only offer the sport with help from a local club and a touring coach.
Women's Lacrosse Women's lacrosse is divided into Women's North, Women's South East Premier, Women's South East 1st Division and Women's South West. A womens lacrosse player carries the ball past a defender. ...
