Do something for others

"Everyone has a purpose and a unique talent to give others. And when we blend this unique talent with #service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of goals."

Guys and Gals,

When your summer season is over (hopefully soon), PLEASE be sure to:

Put your stick down, go to the beach, get rid of the sock tan line, get ready for a DIFFERENT sport, do your summer reading, and most importantly, say THANK YOU to your family!

-All Coaches

Overturning Roe and outlawing abortions will never make them go away.

It only makes them more dangerous, especially for the poor + marginalized.

People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States of America.

I was impressed seeing all the coaches make genuine, heart-felt statements in support of the 50th anniversary of Title IX on the PLL telecasts this past weekend…what more can we do now in support of these same women who just lost a basic, sacred right of personal choice?

Thanks to our incredible donors, in 2022 our student-athletes will always have dedicated staff members to work with them on and off the field. AND 60 new student athletes will receive a healthy meal for every lacrosse practice they attend in 2022! You all are AMAZING.

[@laxthenations @laxthenations]

Any new recurring monthly donations started today will be MATCHED EVERY MONTH OF 2022!

Put this sign up in our locker room yesterday…Doyle may be the only person in the HOF who never played lacrosse, a statistics icon who always said to me “the only statistic that matters Dom is ground balls”…we don’t actually do our own laundry but we will do whatever it takes

[@laxthenations @laxthenations]

Today our ED @jsilva028 and Coach Oscar will represent @ColombiaLax to kick off the tournament vs a #Nicaragua team comprised entirely of LtN staff, alumni and current student athletes!

Buena suerte to both teams!

Our coaches are not just #mentors to our students-athletes, they make our programs sustainable.

Our coaches connect LtN to our communities as trained civic leaders.
