Welcome to the eHome of the CU Men's Lacrosse Club
Lacrosse is America’s oldest game, as Native American Indian tribes invented the sport hundreds of years before Europeans arrived. Regarded as the fastest game on two feet, lacrosse combines speed, strength, agility, endurance, and physicality. There are ten players on the field at once (9 plus a goalie), and there are four 15 minute quarters. For further questions about the rules, please consult a rulebook.
The Columbia Men’s Lacrosse Club is among the most successful teams on Columbia’s campus. The team competes in the National Club Lacrosse League (NCLL), which is the nation’s largest collegiate club lacrosse league. Two years ago, the team won the NCLL national championship at the University of Kutztown in Pennsylvania defeating Cortland State in the finals.
The lacrosse club welcomes players of any skill level or age, and all Columbia affiliates are welcome (including graduate students and all other affiliates). While there are graduate students who played D1 college lacrosse and undergraduates who were standouts at their respective high schools, there are also mid-range and even beginners who come out eager to play the game.
There is fall practice on Wednesday evenings and some weekend scrimmages. However, the main season is in the spring when practices and games become more frequent and rigorous. Please consult our “About the Team” section for more details on practice schedule and times.
