Mission & Philosophy

The mission of the Verona Lacrosse Club is to introduce, teach, and develop the game of lacrosse in a safe, fun, and inclusive environment, while fostering a lifelong appreciation for sportsmanship, teamwork, and personal growth. We are dedicated to:

Our vision is to be a model youth lacrosse program within the Verona community, recognized for athlete-centered development, positive culture and family engagement, passionate leadership from coaches, board members, and volunteers, and preparing athletes for continued participation in lacrosse and other sports at the middle school, high school, college, and professional levels.

We strive to build confident athletes, supportive teammates, and responsible community members through lacrosse.



The Verona Lacrosse Club is committed to working collaboratively with other Verona youth sports programs to support shared athletes and families, promote consistent expectations and values, and strengthen the overall youth sports experience in the Verona community. We believe that when programs work together, athletes thrive.

The Verona Lacrosse Club is committed to providing a positive, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate youth sports experience that supports the physical, mental, and social growth of all participants.

We believe:

• Youth sports should develop the whole athlete, not just sport-specific skills
• Sportsmanship, teamwork, accountability, and respect are foundational life skills
• Winning is a goal, but learning, effort, and character define success
• Multi-sport participation enhances long-term athletic development and reduces burnout and injury
• Youth lacrosse should complement—not compete with—other Verona youth sports programs
