Lacrosse, which originated hundreds of years ago with the Iroquois Indians, has today developed into a fast paced, high scoring game. Lacrosse is similar to other team sports, though the ball is propelled aerially by the use of a stick. Players must possess speed, agility and strength. Lacrosse was introduced in Edinburgh over a hundred years ago, since when it has spread through the UK, Australia, United States and Canada. Recently it has become popular in Germany, Czechoslovakia and throughout Asia.

Fettes College has established itself as a key exponent of lacrosse in Scotland. 1st, 2nd, 3rd senior teams, U-15 and U-14 teams represent the College in a variety of matches and tournaments throughout the Spring Term.

The success that Fettes has achieved through the lacrosse programme promises continued progress in the future. This is due to the help by our dedicated overseas Lacrosse Coach. 
In recent years our students have represented Scotland at U-19 level, and performed in the World Cup in Baltimore. We have three students selected to compete for Scotland at this year's summer World Cup in Canada  and had two others receive B International Caps. 

The future for lacrosse at Fettes has seldom, if ever, looked brighter.
