Scoop on Israel Lacrosse


Israel Lacrosse, host to the 2018 World Lacrosse Championships, offers a unique opportunity for students to take a gap year and travel to the Middle East to learn about culture, history, and lacrosse. Participants will be housed in Ashkelon with their teammates in a “Team Clubhouse” near the Mediterranean Sea. The coastal city of Ashkelon is home to the Israel National Lacrosse Center. Gap-year participants will prepare on an NCAA regiment with daily lacrosse practice and bi-weekly strength/conditioning sessions. Players compete domestically in 20+ games over the 2020-2021 year with most regular matches in the Israel Lacrosse League.

Israel has Men’s and Women’s national teams along with U-20/19 teams and a men’s national box team. These teams compete as members of World Lacrosse.
