A brilliant place to have fun & make friends
Welcome to the Cheadle Lacrosse Girls Section. Cheadle lacrosse has a thriving section for girls ranging from 6 years old up to 18 years. We are an inclusive, friendly and welcoming club and cater for all levels of ability and currently have over 60 girls within the section. Lacrosse is a fantastic team sport and definitely a place where new friendships will be made in a safe and fun environment.
AGES
Cheadle lacrosse cater for a range of age groups which fall under the following categories:
- Under 10’s development
- Under 11s
- Under 13s
- Under 15s
- Under 18’s
TRAINING
Not only does Cheadle Sports Club provide Children a chance to play a sport, it also gives young people a chance to be part of a team and learn about discipline and teamwork. We have an experienced network of coaching staff to enable new members and especially children to enhance their skills.
The lacrosse season usually runs from September to April depending upon fixtures and tournaments but is often extended. However, we continue to train virtually all year round, with a break during August and in between Christmas and New Year.
Training for the girls section is held on Monday evening between 6pm and 7pm for our U10’s, 7-8pm 13 – 15 groups and 7:30 – 9pm for our U18’s. Training is fully supervised by our accredited coaching staff.
Each session is tailor made for the age group and is designed to suit all abilities. At the youngest age group, we tend to focus upon fun activities, developing basic lacrosse skills (such as throwing, catching, ground ball pick up, dodging and positioning), through to more strategic sessions which focus on more advanced levels of ability.
Equipment can be provided if required.
matches
Games are played on Sunday mornings (normally 9:15am arrival for a 10.00 am start) and last for an hour. Cheadle Teams play in the Junior North Girls League and matches are held both at Cheadle and also away, with the away teams being located within half an hour to an hour from Cheadle. Games are generally played on grass so ‘football’ boots will be required.
Development tournaments (u10’s) are normally held on a monthly basis, mostly on a Sunday afternoon, and generally start at 1pm and last for 2/3 hours
As their experience improves, our players will have the opportunity to play in tournaments, trial for Cheshire County teams (U13, U15 and U18) and also trial m/ take part in Regional and National England Academy intakes.
We regularly hold training camps at Cheadle where girls and boys can train with experienced coaches who have played at the highest level.
what do i need
We love to welcome new girls to come and try out this sport. All you will need initially is a properly moulded mouthguard, all other equipment can be provided for you. We train on the tennis courts during winter so trainer type shoes are best for this. For games and training on grass then studs will be required.
For players interested in purchasing club kit you can do so via https://pioneerteamwear.co.uk/club/cheadle-lc/ or Cheadle Lacrosse Club – SHM (shmsports.com)
Future developments
We definitely want to have a Cheadle ladies team but need your help!! If there are any lacrosse players either returning from University, or perhaps currently studying at University locally, or even new players just wanting to start out, we would love to hear from you. We only need 12 players to make a team, so if you would like to take part and even bring a few friends it 100% can happen. If this is of interest, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Any ladies wishing to play would be welcome to train with our U18’s team on a Monday evening (7.30pm to 9.00pm) to start with.
