Timo Samson, a reader and contributor from the Netherlands is here to tell us all about another kind of Beach Lacrosse… but this time it’s Netherlands style!

More than 250 players (with both men & women!) will do their utmost best to get to the Finals on Sunday, and we all hope to bring the famous “bokaal” (= dutch for trophy) home. The diversity of nationalities will be very impressive this year, with players from: Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, the UK, Czech Republic, Spain, and even the US will attend in this yearly growing event.
