JG LAX: A Journey in Community
Our Background
Our Vision: Athletes First
Our Background
JG Lacrosse started in 2021 when a group of 3rd grade boys that had the desire to play and train together. Each year after that, we have welcomed more players to the community.
This original group was a pilot that operated under the team name of Junior Goats. In 2024 the program has successfully transformed into a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit as JG LAX with a new team name of Grind.

Athletes First is a commitment to building a positive youth experience that is centered on the players and not for the parents.
Too often parents ruin the experience with engaging in politics, justifying poor behavior because of paying high fees, and simply coaching their own kid(s).This practice has become known as the professionalization of youth sports.
Athletes First is a commitment to let kids grow, compete and have fun because your only a kid once.

Transform Your Development with Individual Attention
Winter is the time for skill development and learning.
We use a list approach of various opportunities for athletes to sign up for offense, defense, footwork and conditioning training/classes.
It‘s hard for any coach when developing a team to stop and focus on an individual player. This experience gives the athlete the chance to work in a smaller setting with the coaches.
