History:
A British professor teaching at
the Hongkong University reportedly
first introduced lacrosse in the country
in 1963. Spurring considerable attention,
lacrosse attracted various university
students to play in regular tournaments.
Established in 1993, the Hongkong
Lacrosse Association (HKLA) is dedicated
to the promotion and development of
the sport in the university level
and to the general public. HKLA successfully
sent its first official men’s
team to the Beijing Cup in 2001. It
also hosted the Hong Kong Lacrosse
Open in March 2002.
HKLA is governed by eight part-time
committee members. It is an affiliated
member of the International Lacrosse
Federation, allowing it to organize
collaborative activities with other
regional lacrosse organizations. To
date, HKLA consists of about 180 players
of varying skill levels. HKLA oversees
country’s national men’s
team, women teams, and various university/
hall teams. |
