Did you hear about the sport from a friend or neighbor and want to find out more? 

First, you're in the right spot.  We offer programs for boys and girls at the youth level as well as high school aged players.

If you have a child that is interested in lacrosse regardless of age, youth or high school, have them check out one of our free intro clinics. Those will be posted to the right when available. Can't find what you are looking for? Just email us and we'll be happy to chat with you. 

Lacrosse is the fastest growing youth sport in the country right now. Don't worry if your kid has never played, as most kids here haven't so your child is not at a disadvantage.  A lot of kids have only picked up a stick in the last year to two, and every year we add more new kids to the program.  Here are links to PDF's of girls and boys youth lacrosse books from US Lacrosse. This is a great resource for parents and players that would like to learn the game.
