Why should I choose Clapham Lacrosse Club over another London club?
Because we're committed to giving every member access to:
* A no cliques club. A successful sports club relies on its loyal members. Loyalty can only be earned by a club that makes sure everyone is welcomed, happy and getting out what they put in.
* Competitive lacrosse. Intermediate, pro, or a tad rusty, there'll be every opportunity for committed players to enjoy match time in either the Premiership, Division 1 or Division 2.
* Professional and engaging weekly training sessions. Our coaches and the most experienced players run fast-paced, fun sessions that will sharpen your skills (or help you learn new ones), help you stay/get fit and give you a good reason to leave work on time at least once a week.
* A club as sociable as you. Turn up, play, and stick around for post-match pizza in the pub if you haven't got plans. Organise a night out when you fancy it and expect the usual Christmas, pre- and end-of-season parties, and festival fun.
How do I join Clapham Lacrosse club?
Just get in touch with us via our Contact page. One of our lovely committee members will get back to you, answer any questions you have and make sure you feel welcome at your first training session. Come and try us out - your first two sessions are free.
How much is membership and what does it cover?
Membership is £175 for the 2024/25 season and covers the cost of coaching, training, refereeing and match pitch hire. The only extras are ELA membership (around £43), your travel costs to training (zone 1) and matches/tournaments etc (mostly London-based).
Where and when do Clapham Lacrosse train?
We train at Kennington Astro at Oval from September onwards - SE11 4BY - 7.45-9pm.
Please see the map on our Locations page. There are always loads of people travelling to training from around London, so contact us if you'd like someone to meet you at the tube and show you the way
I've never played lacrosse before, can I join?
Sorry but we are unable to support beginners at the moment.
Do you have a coach?
Nikki Price is our coach for 2024-25. Nikky is a midfielder who took the draw when she played for the NCAA Division 1 team at Williams & Mary in the USA 🇺🇸She LOVES lacrosse and being competitive (it clearly runs in the family - her sister is a 2 x Olympian!!!!)
Nicky has shared her thoughts on coaching Clapham this year: “I’m super excited for the season, the new and old talent is great, we’re playing hard and we’re looking really really good. I can’t wait to coach these girls this season!!”
