Lake Zurich Lacrosse Club was founded in 2009 in an effort to bring the sport of lacrosse to the Lake Zurich, Illinois community. Since it first began, Lake Zurich Lacrosse Club has brought lacrosse to hundreds of boys and girls in Lake Zurich, Kildeer, Hawthorn Woods, Barrington, and other surrounding cities in a fun, nurturing manner. Our club has been built with the PCA Standards (Positive Coaching Alliance) in mind. Not only does every child that steps on the field learn the game of lacrosse but they also learn about teamwork, good sportsmanship, and hard work. All our coaches and volunteers must go through a PCA training in order to ensure that our core values as a club are taught.
