ILF world lacrosse championships

ILF world lacrosse championships – Manchester, England (14-24.7.2010)

The first-ever participation in the World lacrosse championship experienced Slovakia led by head coach Ed Kostolansky again. Part of the team was prepare under the guidance of coaches in Slovakia, part of the players in the U.S. and Canada. Slovak national team was designed to compete their best in the championship against all participating countries. Historical championship in Manchester, England was eleventh, and the largest lacrosse tournament, attended by up to 30 countries around the world. Our boys were present symbolically in the orange group, together with high-tournament favorite Ireland, South Korea and Switzerland.

Slovaks finally finished at the beautiful 17 place, when they won five from their seven games and only through playing system, teams with worse balance finished infront of them. Although the seventeenth place is huge success for Slovak lacrosse.

We all believe that in the next 2014 World lacrosse championship in Colorado, Slovaks will not only participate, but also fight for a few places higher.
