Our Mission

At Carolina Lacrosse Association (CLA), our mission is to deliver an unmatched experience for players and families — at every age, every stage, every season. From the first time a stick is picked up to the final whistle on a national field, we create opportunities that spark passion, build confidence, and form lifelong connections through the sport of lacrosse.

Our Vision

We believe lacrosse is more than a game — it’s a journey of growth, teamwork, and purpose.
Our vision is to build a complete lacrosse ecosystem that supports players from youth to high school and beyond.

At CLA, we commit to:

  • Players: Providing tools, training, and platforms to reach their full potential

  • Parents: Offering clarity, trust, and transparency throughout the experience

  • Coaches: Equipping leaders with the resources to inspire and elevate their teams

What Sets CLA Apart

  • Every Age

    From early elementary through high school, we offer developmentally appropriate programming for every step of the journey.

  • Every Stage

    Whether you're new to the game, developing in rec leagues, competing on travel teams, or invited to our premier programs — there's a place for you at CLA.

  • Every Season

    Lacrosse doesn’t stop — and neither do we. From spring leagues to summer tournaments, fall clinics to winter development, CLA runs year-round.

Our Commitment

  • To Players
    We build programs that challenge, develop, and empower. We value effort, leadership, and love of the game. Your growth — on and off the field — is our purpose.

  • To Parents
    We communicate clearly. We design with intention. We partner with families to ensure a positive, organized, and memorable experience.

  • To Coaches
    We invest in great people. We train and support our staff so that every player is led by mentors who teach, inspire, and hold high standards.

Our Philosophy: Every Age. Every Stage. Every Season.

At CLA, lacrosse is a launchpad — for confidence, discipline, connection, and leadership.

We believe in:

  • Building complete athletes

  • Strengthening communities

  • And creating a love for lacrosse that lasts a lifetime
