Katelin Billups – Women’s Team Head Coach and National Team Player

The training and playing facilities UCD Lacrosse possess are second to none; world class training pitches and gym, sports and conditioning and high performance gyms. Although UCD are a highly competitive outfit we are also driven by the love of the game and the need to develop the sport in this country. The focus within UCD is to recruit and develop new players every season.

UCD is the biggest lacrosse programme in the country and produces national team players every year but the main driving force behind the two teams is, and always will be, fun. We train hard but we always play harder, both on and off the field. Whether you’re a seasoned player or you just want to try something new UCD Lax is where you are going to enjoy it most.

See you on the field.

Drew Moran, UCD PRO
