Centurion Support

Universities

Our current venture is to assist students starting lacrosse in their chosen universities. Over 100 universities, to which the government intend to send about 50% of all young people, provide a fruitful source of players and leaders for our present clubs or as pioneers to start new clubs.

Over the past few years the Centurions have supported the introduction of Lacrosse at the following Universities:

  • Aberystwyth
  • Bangor
  • Bath
  • Birmingham
  • Bradford
  • Brighton
  • Bristol
  • Brunel
  • Bournemouth
  • Cardiff
  • Canterbury Christ Church
  • Chester
  • Coventry
  • De Montfort
  • Derby
  • East Anglia
  • Exeter
  • Gloucester
  • Hertfordshire
  • Keele
  • Kent
  • Kingston
  • Lancaster
  • Leicester
  • Lincoln
  • Manchester
  • Newcastle
  • Northumbria
  • Northampton
  • Nottingham Trent
  • Oxford Brookes
  • Plymouth
  • Portsmouth
  • Royal Holloway
  • College of St Mark & St John
  • Staffordshire
  • Strathclyde
  • Swansea
  • Swindon
  • Trinity College, Carmarthen
  • University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)
  • University College London
  • University of the West of England
  • University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC)
  • Warwick
  • Worcester

The game flourishes even though the original leaders have completed their studies because we try to ensure that the leaders whom we support find and develop their successors.

We provide equipment, videotapes, a CD produced by the Canadian Lacrosse Association, and lacrosse posters to assist new leaders to recruit players at the annual Freshers Fairs. Bristol recently obtained 105 expressions of interest – perhaps creating a problem if they all persist but what a wonderful problem that all clubs would like to have!
