Team Israel was scheduled to join squads representing 12 other countries when they competed in the fifth-annual Heritage Cup at Haverford College from May 22-25, 2020.
The Israelis were again expected to bring a hybrid squad, mixing U-19 prospects with current members of the men’s national team. The formula has worked in recent years for the blue-and-white, who won the tournament in 2017 and 2018.
Most of the participating teams are comprised of predominantly “heritage players” who are eligible to compete for their respective national teams under World Lacrosse criteria as non-passport holders. The primary focus of the weekend is to raise funds, awareness, and donated equipment to support the development of youth lacrosse in the eight participating countries.
Israel will also be competing in the Heritage Cup’s new Women’s and U-15 Boys divisions.
Interested players should contact Seth Mahler (mens and U15 boys) at seth@lacrosse.co.il and Sarah Meisenberg (womens) at sarah@lacrosse.co.il.
