SUPPORT SCOTLAND LACROSSE - WORLD CUP CAMPAIGN

Welcome to the Scotland Women’s Lacrosse fundraising page! Thank you for your interest in our cause, all donations are greatly appreciated and will go towards our 2022 World Cup campaign.

 

We are currently in the final stages of our preparation for the Women’s Lacrosse World Cup which runs from 29th June to 9th July in Towson, MD, USA. Off the back of a successful 2017 World Cup campaign where Scotland finished 5th out of 25 competing nations, our highest placing in 24 years, we have recently toured to Prague and Florida to play against some top class competition and build on our performance. In April we secured a 2nd place finish at the Home Internationals tournament with memorable wins over Wales and the Czech Republic.

 

Despite being a National Team we unfortunately receive no funding and each player has to pay to cover training facility costs, travel, accommodation, kit, tournament fees, staff costs and more. Our training schedule is intensive and requires huge commitment and dedication, particularly given that all players have to fit this around their full time commitments at work or university. We estimate that this year will cost each squad member circa £5,000 plus to play – a total for our squad of 20 players of at least £100,000. Fundraising therefore plays a vital role in helping us achieve our goal of improving on our top 5 finish at the World Cup.

 

Our initial fundraising target is £5000, which would contribute £250 towards each player’s expenses. However, if we can surpass this we would be absolutely delighted as the more we raise the more the players can focus on their training and World Cup preparation rather than their finances, as it should be for elite athletes.
