Our mission is to engage as many kids as possible in the game of  lacrosse. Kids that play sports are more confident and physically fit and often lead to better leaders and problem solvers in the world later on in life.

A benefit of our program is that it brings together many different people throughout the greater Evansville community with one common goal:  Help the youth of southern Indiana. 

We believe it is important to provide a program where participation is not contingent upon financial means, but rather on DETERMINATION, COMMITMENT, and DEDICATION.
