Home Nations Lions is open to anyone who currently plays lacrosse in any capacity, and is looking to get involved in an elite and competitive mixed lacrosse squad.

We'd love to hear from you if you're interested in getting involved with HNL! If you are a player and would like to come to trial with us at a Squad Weekend, please get in touch with us via our Contact (javascript:void(0))page. If you're looking to work with us either as a member of staff or as a volunteer, please also visit our Contact (javascript:void(0))page where one of our Leadership Team will be in touch with you.

Our training grounds are at the Oxford Academy (javascript:void(0))in Oxford, and we hold Squad Weekends here during the final weekend of every month.

Absolutely! The skills from the men's game transition nicely to mixed, with the main difference being the stick (we play with women's sticks) and the rules (we play the women's non-contact rules).

As with all forms of lacrosse, there are strict rules in place to keep the game as safe as possible. The men who play with us are all familiar with mixed lacrosse, with some only coming from a mixed lax background, and others being a part of men's leagues as well as playing mixed. Our top priority is keeping all our players safe so although the men's rules allow for more aggressive play, the men who play with us are fully aware of the mixed lacrosse rules.

If you're still unsure if you'd like to trial with HNL and would like to have a chat with one of our Leadership team or coaches, please contact us via our Contact p(javascript:void(0))age or via our Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hnllacrosse/)or Facebook.(https://www.facebook.com/hnllacrosse) We'd love to hear from you and answer any questions you have about Lions!
