About us
Blackheath Lacrosse Club is a London based lacrosse club, and the only women's club that trains in Central London. The Club competes in the Premier and the First Division of the South and East Women's Lacrosse League fielding two league sides (the Legends and the Storm) in order to cater for different levels of commitment and standards of play. Both teams are combined into one for friendly matches and tournaments, including London's Rosebowl tournament which Blackheath won in the 2005/06 season. Blackheath trains within London Underground Zone 1, and plays matches across London, with its home ground on Blackheath Common in South East London.
Mixed games
Blackheath players also enjoy playing in mixed tournaments and mixed friendly matches and Club members are always keen to involve their male friends and other halves in the game, irrespective of experience! The Club enters mixed tournaments and organises friendly matches with other London or associated clubs.
Tours
Blackheath has always had an international flavour, with representation in recent years by players from Australia, Japan, Canada, Belgium, America, Germany, Hong Kong and the Home Nations of England, Scotland and Wales. Blackheath caters to players of all standards, from beginner to advanced, and typically sends a number of players on to play for Kent County. At the regional level Blackheath has contributed a handful of players in the last several years to East Region and in recent years one or two Blackheath players have been selected for Home Nations' international squads. The Club has strong ties with Stockport Ladies in the North of England.
Socials
Off the pitch Blackheath is known for its party attitude and is a club with an excellent social aspect, both after practice/matches and for specially organised events, and of course on tour! See our gallery for pictures of Blackheath ladies (and gents) letting their hair down!
Training
Blackheath players train from September to April on Tuesday evenings in Central London (within Zone 1) and continue to get together for more relaxed summer training in Hyde Park in summer months. New members of any ability are always welcome at training. Contact us for more details or just turn up!
