The Women's Dutch National Team Lacrosse has been competing in World and European Championships since 2002. They want to continue building momentum by sending a team to the 2013 World Cup in Canada in July. The total costs are €65,000 which will cover training, uniforms, flights, and accommodations for the 18 players and 4 staff for 15 days. Each player is contributing €1,500 of their own money. They still need to raise €30,000 in sponsorships and have already secured €15,000. They are looking for company sponsors to help this young team represent the Netherlands at the World Championships.

1. Women’s Dutch National Team Lacrosse to the World Championships
Lacrosse is the fastest growing team sport in the Netherlands. Clubs have been
established across the Netherlands and the sport is now being extended to school
age players. New clubs are being added every year. Dutch Lacrosse is in vogue!
The Women’s Dutch National Team Lacrosse (WDNTL) has
been competing since 2002 in World and European
Championships. In 2012 the Nederlandse Lacrosse Bond
organized a successful European Championships in Amsterdam
where the women's team came in 7th. We want to continue and
build on that momentum by sending a team to the World Cup in
Oshawa, Canada in July.
The total costs are €65000. These costs include training, coaches, uniforms,
flights, tournament fees and accomodation/board for the18 players and 4 team
staff for the 15 days in Canada. Lacrosse has recently joined the NOC-NSF
however the team (as yet) receives no subsidies. Each player of the team is
contributing €1500 from her own pocket - which is a very significant amount for
players with an average age of 22. In addition, each player is raising funds through
her own network. We need to raise and find sponsoring for €30000. We have
already raised/found sponsoring for €15000.
We are looking for companies to help sponsor this young and enthousiastic
team of National Players to get to the World Championships in Canada:
