The Würzburg women’s lacrosse team is looking for a dedicated coach for next season. We are currently playing in the 1.

About the team
Our women’s team is currently part of the 1. Bundesliga Süd (one of the highest German lacrosse leagues). With Würzburg being a university town, our players are very diverse: Our team consists of players aged 19 to 30. Some have been playing lacrosse for many years and some just held a stick in their hands for the first time. This means that there are several levels of athleticism and understanding of the game present. With many students on the team, there is a higher level of fluctuation, but we also always have a couple of rookies each year. We are always welcoming new members with open arms, and even off the field, we are planning and hosting many events to boost team spirit.
The 2020/21 season was cancelled because of the pandemic. At the end of 2021, we were able to play the first half of our regular season which made all of us very happy! In 2022, our main goal is to stay in the 1. Bundesliga Süd and also to achieve the motivation and skills we had pre-pandemic.
