Beginning her career as a physical education teacher, Dangerfield has since worked at independent schools, gaining experience in teaching and leadership.

As a youngster, she first started playing lacrosse at the age of 11 and went on to represent her county, the Midlands region and then England at junior level.

Later in life, she worked with England Lacrosse in a variety of positions, including chairing the National Events Committee and managing the under-19 England national team for two consecutive World Cups.

"As a passionate advocate of school lacrosse, I feel extremely privileged to take on this role," said Dangerfield.

"England Lacrosse is a great organisation and one that has been part of my life as a player, a coach, an educator and now also as a mother with a keen lacrosse-playing daughter.

"I hope that I can continue to support the excellent work the Board undertakes already; the very good work the outgoing President Sue Livock undertook and most importantly to work as an association to develop the players, who we must ensure have a firm foundation and framework to play from, through and excel with."

England Lacrosse chief executive Mark Coups, stated that it was great to have someone of Dangerfield's background in the position.

"I am delighted that Natasha has been appointed as our new President as we look forward to one of the most important years for lacrosse as we seek to recover from the restrictions of COVID-19," said Coups.

"We are all looking forward to working with her over the coming months and using her skills to help us with the tasks ahead.

"We hope that you will be able to meet Natasha in her new role as events open up and lacrosse starts to be played again."

Livock departs after six years as President and played a large part in the Organising Committees of the Women's World Cups hosted by England in 2001 and 2017.

"During my time as President, I have truly enjoyed myself and hopefully I have helped to promote a positive image for the game and to be supportive of staff and volunteers," said Livock.

"Of course, I am very pleased to be handing the role over to Natasha as its always good to bring new blood into the organisation and I am really confident that the game continues to be led by such a dedicated and skilful group of Board members and an exceptionally dedicated and hard-working team of staff."
