Background & Mission
Lacrosse in Memphis has been growing steadily over the past 30 years. As the national landscape of lacrosse has rapidly evolved, Memphis athletes have not consistently ascended to the highest levels of the sport as compared to other southeastern cities. Moreover, in recent years, many Memphis athletes have had to seek opportunities outside of Memphis to take the next step in their growth as lacrosse players.
Memphis Lacrosse Academy exists to teach lacrosse, inspire growth, and develop future leaders who will impact their teams, schools, and the world through transformational lacrosse experiences.
