OCLC Lacrosse

Cougars Lacrosse Club was founded in July 2010 to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment to grow the game of lacrosse in the Caterham area. Originally set up by a team of enthusiastic parents – none of whom had ever played lacrosse but all had spent many a cold hour standing at pitch side watching their children play at the school. Training sessions are led by our head coach, together with coaching support from qualified Cougars members and players. We now have over 90 members and offer training for all different age groups and welcome all budding lacrosse players from age 10 years (in year 6) and upwards, including a senior team. Members have the opportunity to play in junior league games, ELA South League (U13 and U15), and senior leagues in the South East League Division One. We train and play on Sunday mornings (term-time only) 10.00 – 11.30am at Hill Fields, 11 Park Avenue, Caterham CR3 6AH. We move to an Astro during January and February to ensure we can continue to train in most weathers. We play League and Tournament matches in and around the Home Counties.
We offer a taster session to anyone keen to join the Club and beginners are very welcome! For more information go to https://www.catslax.co.uk/
