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. In the afternoon, high school and skilled players. Every kid leaves with a stick and a ball.
- Meet the ambassadors. Watch them play, then learn from them.
- Clinics for every age, run by the ambassadors with local club coaches.
- 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?
Anyone. 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 on this page. Fill in the form and we’ll email you the payment link to confirm the spot.
What should we bring?
Water, sunscreen, a hat and runners. Sticks are provided. Both cities can be hot in January, so the afternoon session runs late 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.

Sponsor questions
Where does my money go?
To the line you pick. Flights buy flights, a field day pays for permits, a medic, signage and equipment. Every gift is tracked to its line item. If Australia ends up fully funded, whatever is left funds Deployment Two, the next country.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
The Callum and Jake Robinson Foundation is a United States 501(c)(3) public charity, EIN 99-3810979. Gifts are tax-deductible for US donors to the extent allowed by law.
I have miles or hotel points.
Pick the line above and tick 'miles or points' on the form. Roughly 80,000 miles flies one pro; seven award nights houses one. Sarah will confirm the details with you by email.
Can my company sponsor?
Yes. Cover a full line item and your name or logo goes on the event shirt and on the field-day signage. Email sarah@cjrfoundation.com to talk it through.
Are these vendor quotes?
No. They are board-reviewed planning figures with a buffer built in. If a line comes in under, the difference moves to the next line, and then to the next country.
