University of Plymouth Lacrosse club is one of the fastest growing clubs. We welcome all abilities and most of our freshers have never played the sport before so do not be afraid. Founded in 2008 we are entering our fifteenth year as a club and fourteenth as a competitive force in the British Universities and College Sport leagues. We currently offer four teams which enable us to cater for all levels of ability;
- Men’s 1st team - Will be competing in BUCS Western 1A league. BUCS National Championships and regional tournaments.
- Men's 2nd Team - Friendly games with other universities such as UWE, Cardiff, Falmouth and Exeter and opportunities to play local league teams, plus playing in development tournaments.
- Women's 1st team – Competing in the BUCS Western 2B league, South West Tournament League.
- Women's Development Team/ 2nd team - A fun social team with the opportunity to play friendly games with other universities such as UWE, Cardiff, Falmouth and Exeter, plus playing in development tournaments.
Both our Men's and Women's teams play on Wednesdays and train on Mondays and Saturdays (training on Wednesdays when there is no match) and a specific fresher training Thursdays. There will also be designated Fresher training as an introduction to the sport, quickly integrated into the other sessions playing alongside all members. As a club, we love to play friendlies for to give everyone an opportunity, to improve skills and learn more about the game. Players of all abilities are welcome. Beginners will be given assistance at training by experienced players. For more information on training please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your 2025/2026 captains (Please read below).
Socials
UPLAX meet up every Wednesday night for our weekly socials; usually starting at a lacrosse member's house and then progressing on to SU, Fever, Popworld and finally ending up in Revolution. Most socials have a theme and all members of the club, regardless of whether they play or just like to socialise, are welcome to come. We have introductory socials at the start of the year to introduce new members to the club and all other members. For more information on socials contact your Men's Social Secretary Callum Parker and your Women's Social Secretary Flora Mckee.
Events
We run a spring tour with the ILOVETOUR tour company previously going to Spain and Croatia. Over the summer, we attend Bluesfest, a weekend lacrosse festival bringing a men's and women's team with us. Over the past successive years, it has been great fun, with the chance to meet lacrosse teams from across the country. We have a huge Christmas party and dinner to end the first term, hiring out a venue which leads to an amazing night out. At the end of the year, we host an Awards Night as a final goodbye to our final year members. We have a strong focus on supporting both national and local charities through many fundraising events such as charity tournaments and pub quizzes. We take on many volunteering roles throughout the year and compete in intermural tournaments thus helping us to integrate with other sports clubs.
As always, our committee members are happy to answer any questions throughout the whole year. See below a list of your 2025/2026 committee. Any membership queries please contact your President: zoe.smith@students.plymouth.ac.uk or contact the club email: uniplymouthlacrosse@gmail.com
