About The Fly

The Fly is the UK’s only six-a-side national lacrosse league established in 2021 that brings together the best lacrosse players and coaches from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and further afield to compete against each other to claim The Fly title.

The Fly, utilising the new fast and innovative sixes format, is a pioneering elite level competition featuring the new Commonwealth and Olympic-proposed version of the sport.

The Fly emphasises the speed of our sport, putting its unique qualities at the heart of the identity and in particular, epitomising the non-stop, high tempo nature of the sixes game.

Not only does the The Fly represent the fast-paced feel of lacrosse, the name and bold symbol represents its aspirational nature in looking forward to the future, looking ahead to Commonwealth and Olympic aspirations for the sport, and looking at what can be possible when the sport is able to let Fly.

The striking orange colour of The Fly takes inspiration from the colour of our lacrosse goals; symbolising the feeling of our players and coaches all focused towards one common goal in achieving success.

The Fly has the needs and ambitions of its players at its core, allowing our elite athletes to pursue the sport at the highest level while also offering a vision for our youngest players to fulfil their dreams.

British Lacrosse took to the field for the first time in a World Sixes Championship at the 2022 World Games and The Fly provided the platform and profile for our top talent to express themselves playing the proposed Commonwealth and Olympic format.

The Fly features side-by-side men’s and women’s competitions, giving our athletes absolute equality in profile and performance, bringing together the best players and coaches from across the sport.
