I'm Jake Mannix from the western suburbs of Melbourne, Australia,

As lacrosse is not yet a sport of the Olympics, the athlete must pay their way to represent their country.

In Aug 2025 l will represent Australia at the U20 Men's Lacrosse World Championships in South Korea, against 24+ countries like the USA, Canada, Haudenosaunee, Japan and England. Our goal is to bring home a medal. In the last 2 U20 world championships (2022, 2016), Australia finished 4th place.

My Story: From the moment l picked up a lacrosse stick at a school clinic at primary school l fell in love with the sport. Since, I have been fortunate to play in 4 x U15 National Championships and 3 x U18 National Championships but it was a dream come true to hear from the Head Coach of the U20 Men's Australian Lacrosse team that l was selected in the team.

The journey to final selection started on the 28th July 2024. This is when the hard work, discipline, and the hours of training ramped up. As did the cost.

How You Can Help: I'm reaching out for financial support to help me cover the expenses of representing Australia, my family and friends, my community, my club, my primary school. Any contribution, big or small, would be amazing.
