One week from now a momentous event in Australian lacrosse history will take place. Professional Lacrosse will grace the floor of Melbourne’s Hisense Arena and herald the first ever professional lacrosse game played outside of North America.

The National Lacrosse League (NLL) is bringing the best of the best including Gary Gait, John Grant Jr, Brodie Merrill, Geoff Snider and Jeff Zywicki. This is like having Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade in town for a basketball game. In lacrosse terms this is huge. Better still lacrosse gets a chance to show itself to the Australian sporting public in an Arena that befits the skill and athleticism of the players and highlights the potential that our sport really has.

In a full on extravaganza lacrosse will be thrust into the limelight in a way that we have never before seen in Australia.

Several local players are also on the rosters. South Aussies Wes Green and Steve Mortimer will line up along with Tim Fry, Darren Nicholas, Ryan Garnsworthy, Jake Egan, Ben Newman and Keith Nyberg. It will be a huge challenge for the local boys as they mix it up with the world’s best in an unfamiliar environment on the box court!

So, if you love lacrosse and want to see the best of the best in your own backyard for the first time ever make sure you get along to Melbourne and watch the LeasePlan NLL All Star Series live and in person.
