Tokyo Lacrosse

[rmr_rich]

Hi Everyone,

Might have the opportunity to move to Tokyo in the new year and I was wondering if any of you keen laxers knew of any one I can email about playing some lacrosse in Tokyo!

I know there is a lot of lacrosse in Tokyo but I can't seem to find any information regarding contacting teams etc I know its a long shot but if anyone could help it would be great!

I know a bunch of Japanese Refs (and non-Japanese refs who are in Japan currently).

Send me an email to the semla_refs_sec email address (@btinternet.com)

and I'll try to put you in touch with them; they'll then be able to put you in touch with the correct people

A lot of lacrosse in Japan is university based, but I'm sure club lacrosse must exist.

I'll get onto my mate who seemed to know most of the Japan team.

I am new to Tokyo and my son is a pretty good high school lacrosse player who will be visiting from Northen Virginia. Are there any teams he could play with for about a month this summer?

It is more for continuing to build his love for the game. Right now he is a fanatic about lacrosse and is one of only 2 freshmen on his high school varsity team. Tokyo would be a great experience for him.

I am a US Diplomat working at the American Embassy in Roppongi and also would love to meet some Lacrosse players. They seem to be like Hash Harriers -- enjoy the sport, but the beer is always a nice ending. At my age I am more interested in the beer part

Cheers,

Don
