Providing local organizations with free lacrosse equipment and support so they can provide affordable and accessible youth lacrosse activities to their participants.
A child’s first lacrosse stick not only serves as a means to play the sport, but as a symbol of life-enhancing values such as confidence, teamwork, sportsmanship, and leadership that can be developed through lacrosse. Those are the hallmarks of the First Stick Program, which piloted in 2010 through the generous assistance of individual donors. We want to inspire kids to play hard and dream big.
"We would never have made it if it wasn’t for the benefits, equipment, and training that USA Lacrosse provided us through the First Stick Program."
