We envision a future in lacrosse where no player is excluded from the opportunity to compete and play because of their financial situation. 

Playing lacrosse, or any youth sport, should be a right of passage for any a child who has the desire to do so. The ability for players to rise and be noticed due to the merits of their play, and not the thickness of their wallet, is something that speaks to the common playing field for all.

Our goal is to make sure these level playing fields still exist, and that all youth, no matter their situation, are able to participate in the unfettered joy of competitive sports.
