Copenhagen Lacrosse
Copenhagen Lacrosse was the first lacrosse club in
Denmark. The club was founded in Copenhagen in early 2002 by a group
of people who wanted to bring Canada's national sport - also known
as "the fastest game on two feet" to Denmark.
Even though Copenhagen Lacrosse is still a relatively new club,
we have great ambitions both in terms of developing a highly competitive
team but also in terms of creating a fantastic club atmosphere where
members have pride in their club, and not only for its hard work
on the field. The following are just examples of some of the goals
for Copenhagen Lacrosse:
- Develop a team that will continue to compete internationally
- Be the main driver behind establishing a lacrosse league in Denmark/Skåne
- Participate in sporting events / exhibitions to promote lacrosse
in Denmark
On this website you can read all about lacrosse in general and
Copenhagen Lacrosse in particular. Most of the site is in Danish
but we will continue to work on our English part of the website.
