To introduce diverse and traditionally underserved populations to
lacrosse and to employ this popular sport as a vehicle for teaching
character education values and life skills through the competition and
social interaction lacrosse provides.
Our Purpose
We envision a day when underserved youth in Dallas have equal access to
opportunities for success. We assist that process through
the team sport of lacrosse, connecting these boys and girls with the larger
North Texas lacrosse community. Lacrosse is a sport that teaches values like
commitment, teamwork, respect and responsibility. In providing
educational, recreational, and character-building support, we enable
these kids to incorporate values they've learned playing lacrosse into
their lives, creating more possibilities to become successful adults.
