Knights 2015 Squad Announced!

I want to thank everyone that attended the trial last weekend, it isnt easy selecting the final squad, especially with the high standard of play. Remember if selected or not you are still in the best 50 players in the country and should be proud of what you have already achieved in Lacrosse.



This and past Knights teams have played at an Elite level and I hope the players selected are proud of being apart of this program and ready to follow the legacy. This is a very strong and talented team and we will aim to improve the players selected over the next two years.

Congratulations to Matt Smith, Jake Parker and Santi Castro who are the first players from Wilmslow, Mellor and the South (TASIS) to be selected for Knights.

Knights Try-Outs

                             Thanks to Handcartmedia.com (Jamie Hardie) for the Banners!
                                             
We held the first Knights Lacrosse try outs on Sunday the 8th September, it was attended by 50 of England's brightest Lacrosse talent coming from Manchester, Sheffield and the London area. For past tours the team has been selected by invite only but as the program gets bigger and more popular we want to open up the opportunity to as many players as possible from all over Britain.


It was a very successful day and the sun was shining, the first part of the try out included a 
warm up, footwork and sprint tests, moving on to positional and integrated testing and finishing with 3 games.






My brave heart award of the day goes to Nathan Edwards (above), fearless kid with great skills! see me for your free Knights Snap Back cap!

I was proud to see the talent on show and all the players put in so much effort over the 4 hours, the selection of the team will be out soon and the list will be posted on this site!

Thank you to all the players and parents that attended from everyone at Knights.

A big thank you to Simon & Susan Smith, Lynne Harvey-Burnam & Alison Cara and to all the coaches.




A huge thank you to Wilmslow for their hospitality and hosting the event!
