Lacrosse the Globe

Deployment OneAustralia

Two field days. Melbourne, Saturday 2 January. Perth, Wednesday 6 January 2027. Pros on the field, kids with sticks in their hands.

A field day, not a clinic.

One day in each city. In the morning, youth and juniors, ages 7 and up. In the afternoon, high school and skilled players. Every kid leaves with a stick and a ball.

  • Meet the ambassadors. Train with them, then ask them anything.
  • Clinics for every age from 7 up, run by the ambassadors.
  • Welcome to Country from the Traditional Owners of the land we play on.
  • DJ, food trucks, vendor village. Bring the whole family.
  • A stick and a ball to keep. Included with entry.

Callum Robinson learned the game in Perth, led Stevenson University to a title and played professionally for the New York Atlas. Lacrosse the Globe carries his vision forward, one country at a time. Australia is where it starts.

Good questions

Who can come?

Players aged 7 and over. The morning session is for youth and juniors and first sticks are welcome. The afternoon is for high school and skilled players. Families and friends are welcome to watch, eat and hang out.

What does it cost?

AUD 25 per player, and every player takes home a stick and a ball. Registration is open now. Pick your city and session above and pay by card. Your spot is confirmed on payment and the receipt email is your ticket.

What should we bring?

Your usual lacrosse gear if you have it, plus water, sunscreen, a hat and runners. New to the game? Come as you are. Sticks are provided and yours to keep. Both cities can be hot in January, so the afternoon session starts at 2 and there's a medic on site with a heat plan.

I want to volunteer. What's involved?

Station helpers, the registration and kit desk, and hands for setup and pack-down. Local volunteers need a Working with Children check for their state. Tick 'volunteer' above and we'll send the short form.
