PLAY LACROSSE AT POYNTON ...

Poynton Lacrosse Club is a friendly family-oriented club and we welcome new members. If you’ve never played lacrosse before, or if you are thinking of returning after a break away from the sport, please feel free to get in touch or come down to a game or training session to find out more.

What you need to start

In order to play or train all players must have gloves, helmet and chest protection. If you are a beginner and don’t have any lacrosse equipment of your own, the club has equipment which you can borrow. For training on Astroturf, tennis shoes or trainers are suitable. Matches are held on grass pitches where studs are needed and football or rugby boots are suitable.

Junior Training & Matches

Junior training is held on the Astroturf court at Poynton Sports Club, on either Monday or Wednesday nights (dependant on age). The club also runs a dedicated mixed age skill session which is run weekly by the clubs senior manager and head coach Mike Bartlett, supported by senior players who coach position specific fundamentals.

Matches take place each Saturday throughout the season which runs from late September to April. Games alternate between home and away fixtures and usually start (‘face-off’) at 10am. Home games are played on our pitches at the Sports Club.

Our coaches are mainly experienced players and ex-players and are committed to providing quality coaching in a relaxed and encouraging style. Unlike many other ball games, lacrosse suits players of all sizes, and skill is more important than physical strength, giving all players an equal chance to excel on the field. In junior games, all players will get the chance to take part in games as soon as they feel comfortable.

Junior Players participate in leagues and cup competitions arranged by Junior North Lacrosse who also arrange beginner tournaments and events for players at the Under 8 and Under 10 age groups.

The club has an England Lacrosse approved Child Protection Policy in place, full details of which are available for you to download

Senior Training & Matches

Senior Training is held on Thursday evenings at Cheadle Hulme School with matches played on Saturday afternoons. Usual face-off time for senior games is 2.00pm. We currently have three adult teams and we welcome new players of all abilities and experience!

Senior teams compete in the North Lacrosse Leagues (NLL) which is the organising body within North West Lacrosse Assocaition.
