Hong Kong women’s lacrosse team have welcomed new on-site head coach Emily Gray as they begin building towards qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The move marks a shift from long-distance coaching arrangements, with Gray relocating to work directly with the squad during a crucial period in the international calendar.
Previous holders of the position used to coach mainly online, and came to Hong Kong only once a month or during important tournaments.
Gray, who retired from the England side a year ago and from the Great Britain national team recently, will be based mostly in Hong Kong.
She arrived with a decorated playing resume and a clear brief: to be present, raise standards and help Hong Kong close the gap on Asia’s best.
A long-time midfielder for England and Great Britain, Gray won four European Championship gold medals and two World Championship bronze medals, and also captained Great Britain’s Sixes squad at the 2017 World Games.
