Wageningen Warriors Lacrosse

Since there are sadly no sports events today, we thought it would a great opportunity to show you how fun our association can be outside of lacrosse. From chill evenings at the Bongerd (the sports pub) after practice, to random poker nights or a huizenborrel (house crawl), there's always something happening. Finally, one of the highlights of the year is our warrior weekend, where we go away for a weekend with the whole association, to play games, party and have a lot of fun with fellow members.

The AID starts tomorrow, we hope you are just as excited as we are!
Join us for a quick intro to Lacrosse — fast, fun, and everyone can join!

Something very cool happened last month, One of our members, Matthijs (23), was playing for the Dutch national team in the European Box Lacrosse Championships EBLC 2026 - European Box Lacrosse Championship.

Matthijs: "It is a dream of many kids, including myself back in the day, to one day play for the national team of your own country. This summer that dream came true when I was able to play for the Men's Dutch Box Lacrosse Team at the European Championships in Prague. Wearing a Dutch uniform with your own name and number, singing the national anthem standing side to side with your teammates and leaving everything on the field in the name of your country are memories which I will never forget. The game of box lacrosse is intense, which was not helped by the tropic temperatures that hit the entirety of Europe. However, everyone gave it their all and there were great moments in every match. I even managed to score as a defense player in the last match against the Swiss! It was an amazing time together with my teammates and coaching staff, and I enjoyed every second of it!"

Box lacrosse is an indoor version of lacrosse, which is played in a (thawed) ice hockey rink. Due to the smaller field and different rules, the game becomes much more fast paced and physical than the field version we play in Wageningen.

Three weeks ago, we went on Warrior Weekend! Always a highlight of the year ✨️

Barbecue, biertje, Boersberg, what else could we need? The sun, silly games and a costume party of course! 😎

Thanks ReLaxie for organising, we're looking forward to next year 🕺

Hello! I'm Koen, the current secretary of the Warriors. My tasks include the collection of stickers, the making of notes, and of course the creation of the Hardy. Things to know about me: I like sharks, I drink a healthy amount of Monster, and I like hitting people with my pole. I'll see you all on the field or in the Bongerd!

Last weekend, our men’s team had their yearly teamweekend. Although the details are kept secret, we were able to sneak a few pictures out this year.

The boys went to Germany this year to help themselves to a couple of good “Bierchen” there. Luckily, they were able to get out some energy during their midgetgolf activity, which was played without cheating whatsoever.

Apart from that, they also went paintballing, were everyone could show off their tactical skills/pain tolerance in a couple of games. At the end we went for a nice relaxing walk in the (not so) fresh air.

Unfortunately, it was not possible to get more pictures out, so only they know what happened at night, but one person described it as “Lit” while another claimed to have gone to sleep peacefully at 10.

Regardless, It appeared to be a very good weekend for them, and here is to one more year of men’s weekend

Flashback time!

Now that we’re halfway through the season, it’s the perfect moment to look back at an amazing first half! We’ve seen loads of new, enthusiastic faces join the
association, huge growth during practices and games, and - most importantly - a lot of fun along the way. From battling it out at the newcomers tournament to sharing laughs at the annual grondboren competition, the first half of the season was one to remember.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the season has in store!
