Hockey is over.
Your career is not.

Box lacrosse is hockey’s closest relative. Boards, line changes, body checks, play behind the net. Everything you learned on the ice pays off from your very first practice. And instead of the end of your career, the national team could be waiting.

What you bring from hockey

  • Reading the game. Moving off the ball, play around the net and power plays work almost the same way.
  • Battles. Body checks and fights along the boards are right at home here.
  • Line changes. Short, fast shifts, no dragging your feet.
  • The locker room. The team spirit you miss after hockey.
  • Goalies. A hockey goalie is a treasure in box lacrosse. You have the reflexes, we will sort out the gear.

What awaits you

  1. First game

    Once you master the basics, you play in a real game. Anyone who played hockey or basketball picks it up surprisingly fast.

  2. First road trip

    Tournaments in Czechia and around Europe. A weekend with the crew and games against teams from all over the continent.

  3. National team

    Most of our team plays for Slovakia. World and European Championships are a normal part of our season.

  4. Overseas

    Want to go even further? We will help you get to Canada or the USA: training, studies, scholarships.

Still playing?

In Canada, box lacrosse is the traditional sport for hockey players outside the ice season. Hands, vision and fitness will help you on the ice too. Come and try it.

I knew nothing about lacrosse before, but I fell in love with it straight away.

FAQ

Do I need my own gear?

No. We lend you a stick, helmet, gloves and pads to start with. Sportswear, indoor shoes and a bottle of water are all you need.

Where and when do you practise?

Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:00 – 9:30 pm at the Areál netradičných športov (ANŠ), Pivonková Street, Bratislava.

Isn’t it dangerous?

Box lacrosse is a contact sport, just like hockey. That is why it is played in protective gear and referees enforce the rules. Our coaches will teach you to play so that neither you nor your opponent gets hurt.
