A new Lacrosse club has been created in Luxembourg, a sport becoming increasingly popular throughout Europe and the world.

Lacrosse is a contact sport that is played on a grass field between two teams. The players use metal Lacrosse sticks - with a net at the end - to throw and catch a ball, and score goals.

On Sunday 4 December 2016, nine founding members created the Luxembourg Lacrosse Club a.s.b.l., and decided to play under the team name "Blacksmiths Luxembourg" in the future.

Any person interested about Lacrosse or who wants to try this exciting new team sport in Luxembourg is welcome to contact Pit Bingen, the club's president directly by tel: 661-169418, email: luxembourglacrosse@gmail.com
