2 Whether you currently play lax in the South East or are thinking of moving into the region after university this simple guide is for you. South East Leagues The SE Senior Leagues are currently home to 21 teams, 200 fixtures and a large number of the best players in the country! Overseen by a well-organised league committee, the Premiership and Division 1 play Home & Away fixtures throughout the season. Entries to the league are to the League committee by May Rosebowl Cup Our 10-aside development cup runs in parallel to the leagues and is for non-elite players. It is played in a tournament style over just 5-6 dates at Regent s Park during the lacrosse season, so if you don t feel confident enough to enter the senior league or don t have the numbers to regularly field 12 players then this is a great opportunity for you to play, without the organisation! We can even help you find another team to join forces with. Entries by Sept Annual South East Tournaments SE Clubs and Colleges is held in October, Jan Kiddle Beginners Cup is in November and the fun and fast-paced Indoor 5-aside is held in January to help kick-start your New Year s resolutions!
