In addition, the Foundation has the ability to provide short term loaner sticks, balls and goals to organizations that are interested in hosting introductory clinics. We believe these one and two day clinics are an invaluable tool for generating new interest in lacrosse. These clinics allow athletes, that may be involved in another sport and/or those who may simply want to see what it is all about, to get a "taste" of lacrosse before making a full fledged commitment. If you have any questions about our loaner program, please email us at .
Although the fund’s size currently limits the number and amount of aid awarded each year, the Florida Youth Lacrosse Foundation, a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, seeks to build the size of the fund in an effort to increase its ability to support youth lacrosse development statewide. If this is a program you’d like to support or would like more information on how you can help, please contact us at .
Congratulations to all the financial aid recipients, the Florida Youth Lacrosse Foundation looks forward to working with these and many other organizations to make their programs a success.
