We're raising funds to support York Lacrosse Club in the run-up to Roses 2025 and beyond—helping with coaching, equipment, and preparation to ensure we compete at our best all the time. Your support will strengthen our team!
The York Lacrosse Club is a vibrant and competitive club at the University of York, welcoming players of all abilities. We field men's, women's, and mixed teams, competing in BUCS leagues and, most importantly, the annual Roses tournament against Lancaster. With a strong community spirit and an active alumni network, we pride ourselves on being inclusive, ambitious, and always up for a challenge!
In the run-up to Roses 2025 and beyond, we’re raising funds to support our club through coaching, equipment, and key preparation to help our teams perform at their best. With the rising expenses for sports participation and increasing membership, we want to ensure that lacrosse remains accessible and that all players—seasoned competitors or complete beginners alike—have the resources they need to succeed.
Your support will help us grow as a club, improve our performance, and continue to offer a welcoming environment for all students. We would really appreciate any donation you can make to support York Lacrosse. Every contribution, big or small, will help us prepare for Roses 2025 and keep our club thriving for years to come. Thank you!
All the money we raise will go directly towards strengthening the Lacrosse Club as we prepare for Roses 2025 and our future. Our main priorities include funding additional coaching, purchasing much-needed equipment, and ensuring that all members have access to the resources they need to compete at their best.
£1,500 – Covers new equipment, such as replacement goalie gear and new BUCS standard Lacrosse goals, ensuring we train effectively.
£3,500 – Funds extra coaching sessions in the run up to Roses, improving team performance and developing players of all skill levels.
£5,000+ – Secures more long-tern investments in training equipment
No matter how much we raise, every pound and penny will go towards making the club stronger, more competitive, and more accessible. Your support will push us for success at Roses and onwards!
This funding will be a huge help for the club, allowing us to expand access to the sport, improve player development, and strengthen our competitiveness for the long term.
Lacrosse is an incredible sport, but the cost of entry can be a major barrier for new players. For example, goalie kit is essential for player safety, but its high cost can deter participation. With this funding, we can provide high-quality club-owned goalie gear, making it easier for students to try out the position and lowering the financial barrier for those interested in joining.
Additionally, we recently suffered damage to our lacrosse goals, which cost £800 to replace—a cost that could limit our ability to host home matches. This funding would ensure that our players have the facilities they need to train and compete properly.
Our men’s side is going through a big transition, with many first-team players graduating. To keep the squad strong and competitive, our new men’s team will be moving up, requiring additional coaching and support. We are also about to move up a league, which demands more structured training, higher-quality coaching, and further transport costs to compete at the next level.
By securing extra funding, we can increase the quality of training sessions available, giving all members—from beginners to experienced players—the opportunity to develop their skills.
Your donation will directly impact our ability to train, compete, and grow as a club. It will ensure that all students can take part in the sport we love.
Please consider donating—your support will help shape the future of York Lacrosse!
