British Lacrosse congratulates Ailsa Stott on her appointment as Women’s Head Coach. LA28 approaches and Ailsa shares her thoughts and insights on the preparation and journey that will see the squad take the field in Los Angeles.

Ailsa Stott, British Lacrosse Women’s Head Coach said: As Head Coach of the GB Women’s Sixes squad, I’m incredibly proud of the journey we’re on and the opportunities ahead. This year marks a vital chapter in our programme, with the European Sixes Championships and the World Games providing a platform to showcase our ambition and talent on the international stage. These events are not just about medals—they’re milestones in our long-term vision to build a squad capable of achieving greatness at the LA28 Olympic Games.
We’re focused on cultivating a high-performance environment rooted in resilience, adaptability, and shared purpose. The strength of this squad lies in its depth, character, and hunger to improve every time we come together. Our goal is to develop a world-class team culture that drives both individual and collective growth.
There is genuine excitement about what lies ahead—not just this season, but over the next three years. The athletes know they’re part of something bigger, and every training session, match, and moment of adversity brings us closer to where we want to be. We’re building something special, and I can’t wait to see this team continue to rise on the road to LA28.
