Why Lacrosse?

Lacrosse is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, blending speed, skill, and strategy. Kids love it because it’s fast-paced, exciting, and fun to play. Parents love it because it builds confidence, teamwork, and athletic versatility.

  • Easy to Learn: Players with backgrounds in soccer, basketball, hockey, or football adapt quickly. Lacrosse develops agility, hand-eye coordination, and decision-making skills that translate to many other sports.
  • Great for Athletes: It’s a high-repetition sport — kids get lots of touches, lots of running, and constant action. Every player is always involved.
  • Pathway to College: Lacrosse is played at top universities, including the Ivy League (Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, Harvard, Columbia). Success in lacrosse can open doors for college recruiting and admissions.
  • Networking & Community: The lacrosse world is tight-knit. Families often find new friendships, mentors, and professional connections through the sport — it’s a lifelong community.
  • Growth of the Game: With the rise of the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), national youth programs, and lacrosse’s return to the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, the sport has never had more visibility or opportunity.

Watch Lacrosse in Action

Bottom line: Lacrosse is fun to play, great for development, and creates opportunities that last well beyond the field.
