New players, past players and anyone interested is welcome to come along and give lacrosse a try.

Under 11 pre-season has kicked off with indoor sessions at Ashburton Recreation Centre. New and existing players are working on their skills, having a lot of fun and getting ready for 2018 outdoor season.

Interested in Lacrosse? New players are welcome to come along and give it a go. We are back indoors next Monday 19th at 7:00. Then outdoor training commences on the Thursday 22nd at 5:00 at Dorothy Laver.

Bring along school mates, friends and family to introduce them to lacrosse.

Camberwell Lacrosse has a new first.

A total new team comprised of fathers of junior club members has turned out to play in the Indoor “Mill” competition on Monday nights.  Seems like Brendan Lewis could no longer bear to watch his son Mason enjoying lacrosse without giving it a go himself.  What better way than to marshal together his own team of dads. 

Our junior girls have a lot to look forward to in 2018.

The Club Committee has responded to the growth of our junior girl’s teams  and their obvious enthusiasm and increasing success by making a key appointment to boost the coaching and skill development of players. 

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Meredith Carre as our new Director of Coaching, Women’s Lacrosse.

Boys and girls interested in lacrosse can enrol for the 2018 season now. Preseason starts in February at Ashburton Recreation centre and then winter season starts in April. Keep an eye out on our facebook page for opportunities to catch up with other juniors over the holidays.

For new players, send us your details and we will arrange a loan stick to practice over summer. Register and pay a subscription deposit of $110 and a new stick will be provided to keep.

At the 2017 AGM, Ross Melville was inducted as a life member of Camberwell Lacrosse Club.

He played in the Under 19 team in 1977 and 1978 and also played several games in “A” grade in 1978.

Ross graduated to senior team ranks in 1979 and played regularly in the “A” grade team which was re-named as State League in 1980.

The Annual General Meeting was held on Wed 15th Nov at 7.30pm at the East Malvern RSL.

Ross Melville was re-elected President.

Gill Greenwood was re-elected as Secretary and Annabelle Butler as Treasurer.

Other members to be re-elected were Jennie Easson, Bruce Churchward, Rob Pagliaro, Tony Hollenkamp, Helen and Mike Gloutnay.

Rob O'Donnell was elected as a newcomer to the committee.

Chris Downie did not stand, many thanks for his service over the past years.

Following a recent two-week lacrosse PE program run by our club at St Dominic’s Primary School, nine students have joined Camberwell’s Under 11 Indoor Competition on Monday nights.

The coaches have been thrilled with the way these new players are progressing and have fitted into teams with more experienced players.
