Help Us Transform Central Oregon Into A Lacrosse Hotbed
Imagine every high school field in Deschutes County alive with the excitement of lacrosse games. Picture thousands of kids discovering the thrill of their first goal, their first team victory. That's not just a dream – it's our 2030 vision for Central Oregon lacrosse.
We're Going Big, and We Need Your Help
Right now, we're at the beginning of something extraordinary. Our mission? Transform Central Oregon into an emerging lacrosse hotbed by 2030. Here's what victory looks like:
🏃♂️ Growing the Game:
Expanding from 6 to 14 boys' teams
Launching from 3 to 14 girls' teams
Building JV and Varsity programs at EVERY public high school

Launching Sisters Youth Lacrosse
Establishing Redmond Youth Lacrosse
Bringing back Mountain View Youth Lacrosse
Supporting comprehensive 3rd-8th grade programs
Calling All Leaders: Help Us Build From the Ground Up
We're actively seeking passionate leaders to help establish new youth programs in Sisters and Redmond.

We've got the playbook, the organizational support and the program structure, but we need people to help manage programs in Sisters and Redmond. These leadership roles are crucial to bringing lacrosse to hundreds of young athletes in these communities!
