Italia Lacrosse

History:
Lacrosse made its debut in Italy
in the spring of 2001. Key people
who helped introduce the sport to
Italy include Robert Corna and Mike
Eckert. They made it possible for
the sport to find a home base at the
American Overseas School of Rome,
which also served as the venue for
the first lacrosse practices. A year
after lacrosse was introduced, Italy
held its first lacrosse games in the
spring of 2002, with team from Austria
and Czech Republic coming to Italy
to compete. Generous donations from
patrons made it possible for Italy
to put up a men’s team and a
youth boy’s team for ages 9-17.
