Mixed lacrosse has been slowly but surely increasing their numbers, and with that their diversity, equality and inclusion of the club. This year alone we have had multiple members of all genders and ethnicities join, and all have been welcomed with open arms. Many of our members have also never played the sport before university, so we have a really strong push for inclusivity and training for beginners, with two dedicated freshers captains, as well as second team captains ready to step in and help everyone feel welcome and receive valuable and friendly training.  We then get everyone involved right away and start offering up match opportunities, advancements through teams and big group trainings, so plenty of whole club bonding. Throughout the year we also host multiple ‘bring a friend’ training sessions and socials, where every member of the club is encouraged to bring a housemate, course mate, any kind of friend and introduce them to the club and sport! It makes for really relaxed, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and helps everyone’s social circles expand, as well as helping the club grow! We’ve always had really really positive feedback from these events and love holding them, so will continue them in the months and years to come!
