About the club

Lacrosse is a fast-paced stick and ball sport, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, whether at university or college level. Lacrosse is inclusive to all genders and levels of experience, and we welcome enquiries from those with a disability regarding the accessibility of lacrosse.

The club comprises of six teams - two women's, two men's and two mixed teams. All play competitive matches at least once a week, with varying training commitments. There are opportunities to compete against other universities in the BUCS league and against Cambridge in an annual Varsity Match. Both the men's and women's teams compete in the Southern Premiership. Additionally, we have a lower commitment women's development squad for those who want to improve their lacrosse, and this team occasionally has matches. OULC welcomes new members of all levels of experience and for more information please see the club website.

Inter-college & Cuppers

Lacrosse runs a mixed inter-college league and a mixed inter-college cup. For more information on how to get involved at college level, please contact a member of the club or your college sports rep.
