Welcome to Traverse City Youth Lacrosse Club

Welcome to Traverse City Youth Lacrosse ClubWelcome to Traverse City Youth Lacrosse ClubWelcome to Traverse City Youth Lacrosse Club

Lacrosse: The Creator's Game

Lacrosse, known as the “Creator’s Game,” is a sport deeply rooted in Indigenous North American cultures. Originally played to unify communities, build leadership, and honor the Creator, it carries forward powerful traditions and values. Today, lacrosse continues to teach teamwork, discipline, and respect, helping young people grow mentally and physically, build resilience, and foster a lifelong appreciation for an active lifestyle. More than just a sport, lacrosse is a legacy that shapes well-rounded individuals, teaching essential lessons about life, humanity, and connection through athleticism. We believe strongly in these principles and adopt them as a core component of our program. 

Traverse City Youth Lacrosse Club is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization

All donations to help grow the game in the area are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please be sure to include your name and email address when making your payment so that we can send you an acknowledgement of your donation. Thanks for your support!
