Welcome to the Fly

Show up Speed up Step up - Can you keep up? Welcome to the Fly

We are extremely excited to announce the launch of The Fly as the identity for the UK’s new National 6 a-side event showcasing lacrosse at the highest level.

The Fly, utilising the new fast and innovative 6s format, will be a pioneering elite level competition featuring the new Olympic-proposed version of the sport.

The Fly emphasises the speed of our sport, putting its unique qualities at the heart of the identity and in particular, epitomising the non-stop, high tempo nature of the 6s game.

Not only does the The Fly represent the fast-paced feel of lacrosse, the name and bold symbol represents its aspirational nature in looking forward to the future, looking ahead to Olympic aspirations for the sport, and looking at what can be possible when the sport is able to let Fly.

The striking orange colour of The Fly takes inspiration from the colour of our lacrosse goals; symbolising the feeling of our players and coaches all focused towards one common goal in achieving success.

The Fly will have the needs and ambitions of its players at its core, allowing our elite athletes to pursue the sport at the highest level while also offering a vision for our youngest players to fulfil their dreams.

GB Lacrosse will take to the field for the first time in a World 6s Championship at the 2022 World Games and The Fly will provide the platform and profile for our top talent to express themselves playing the proposed Olympic format.

The Fly features side-by-side men’s and women’s competitions, giving our athletes absolute equality in profile and performance, bringing together the best players and coaches from across the sport.

The Fly has already engaged with the UK’s top players and coaches through an extensive application and recruitment process, and we can’t wait to share with you all the talent on show this summer.

The best way to keep up with The Fly is across The Fly’s social media channels.
