UCSB Women's Lacrosse is a Sport Club competing under the Department of Recreation at the University of California, Santa Barbara. UCSB boasts two nationally ranked lacrosse teams. Both the men's and women's teams regularly finish in the Top 5 in the nation in their respective national association polls.

The women compete regionally in the Western Women's lacrosse League (WWLL) and nationally in the Women's Division Intercollegiate Associates (WDIA) of U.S. Lacrosse, the National Governing Body for the sport. This association governs regular season and national championship tournament play and enforces the use of student-athlete eligibility rules similar to those of the NCAA. UCSB is one of the lead programs in the WDIA and is also one of a select few programs nationwide to carry A, B, & C teams based on interest and demand to participate in this sport at UCSB.

Beginner practices and try-outs for the 2010-11 UCSB women's lacrosse club will take place the first and second week of Fall Quarter. This is an open try-out process and while experience is certainly welcome it is not required. Beginners may play lacrosse at UCSB. The ability to commit to being on the team and incorporate this great team sport into your personal college experience is all that's required. Basketball, field hockey, soccer, softball and volleyball are among the different athletic backgrounds that help on a lacrosse field.
