Who can join?
We offer team programs in Northern Arizona (currently Flagstaff, Verde Valley, and Prescott) for boys and girls in grades K–12, with opportunities designed for both new and returning players.
We also soon plan to offer tots programming for ages 2-5 (parent participation required).
No prior lacrosse experience is required for our programs. We welcome first-time players and families who are completely new to the sport.
We are brand new as an organization as of March 2026 (but not new to lacrosse or building lacrosse programs!) and currently developing and expanding programming across Northern Arizona, with offerings that include free clinics, youth teams, and high school opportunities depending on age and location.
