Criteria for the Lacrosse Scotland Hall of Fame 2018

The aim is to:

honour those who have made a very positive contribution to Lacrosse Scotland over more than a decade as a player, coach, umpire/official or a contributor. (A contributor may be someone who has combined one or more of these roles.)

In 2013 the inaugural group rewarded the Pioneers and Legends involved with the start of lacrosse in Scotland to provide gravitas to the Hall of Fame. They reflect the long tradition of the game in Scotland

The criteria below sets out the minimum levels which potential Hall of Famers must meet to enable them to be considered as a potential Hall of Fame member. It is anticipated that successful candidates will exceed these requirements.

For women, the introduction of the World Cup in 1982 put a different perspective on international matches and provided many more opportunities for international competition. The inclusion of lacrosse at the World Games in 2017 now provides, once again, the opportunityto represent Great Britain.The criteria has been updated to take account of this.
