Who Are We
Re-Lax Lacrosse, Inc. is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to making the sport of lacrosse accessible to youth regardless of financial circumstances. We provide instruction, mentorship, leadership opportunities, and a positive team environment that encourages every participant to grow both on and off the field.
Honoring the Origins of Lacrosse
Re-Lax Lacrosse, Inc. recognizes that lacrosse originated with Indigenous peoples of North America and has deep cultural and spiritual significance for many Native American communities. Often called the Creator's Game, lacrosse has long been played as a way to strengthen community, honor tradition, and develop character.
As part of our program, we strive to educate players and families about the history of the game while fostering respect for the Native nations that have preserved and shared this tradition. We encourage sportsmanship, humility, teamwork, and gratitude—values that reflect both the spirit of the game and our nonprofit mission.
Our goal is not only to teach athletic skills but also to help young people understand the rich heritage of lacrosse, appreciate its Indigenous roots, and demonstrate respect for the cultures that gave this game to the world.
