Lacrosse Northwest

More Info

General Info

Since our inception in 1998, Lacrosse Northwest has reached 1000s of young and adult lacrosse players alike through its offerings of leagues, lessons, clinics, camps, and athletic training. Doug Foster, the original owner, figured out quickly after moving to Portland from Virginia that Oregon was missing out on something great. Lacrosse! What is Lacrosse? Is it that game played where people run with sticks carrying a ball in the net? These are just a few of the many questions people had when Lacrosse Northwest started running its first lacrosse leagues in the Portland area. Only the few people who played lacrosse on the east coast could answer questions about this great Native American sport that has since grown by leaps and bounds. After hiring Paul Voas, an east coast lacrosse player from Syracuse, New York, Doug and Paul worked together to educate players on how to play. The lacrosse they witnessed wasn't "pretty" as many of the players had never seen the sport played. "Bad lacrosse at a cheap price is what we experienced when we first began", said Foster. This is a far distance from the now booming lacrosse community in the state of Oregon and the high level we see in our leagues. Boys and Girls youth programs have exploded in each lacrosse community by the hundreds. High School Boys and Girls programs are now comprised of 80+ programs.
