Homegrown Vision

Mission

Our mission is to build a community that inspires and empowers youth to excel in life and lacrosse

We deliver on our mission through a wide-variety of service and fee-based programming that are designed to develop character, build self confidence and instill a sense of community.

Programming ranges from in-school and after school programs to mentorship programs, overnight camps, training clinics, leagues and tournaments for youth, middle school, high school and collegiate/post-collegiate athletes.

Founder's Vision

Staying true to Homegrown Lacrosse’s founders original vision, the organization: 
  • Offers lacrosse camps in central locations at a fair and affordable price.
  • Staffs lacrosse camps with local leaders who have vested interest in the development of local players, unlike many of the camp staffs that began to pop up in Minnesota.
  • Draws campers from different communities to play on the same fields amidst each other (similar to the way the Native game as well as the early days of Minnesota lacrosse was played).
  • Uses positive reinforcement, encouragement and enthusiasm to spread passion for the game amongst participants. 
  • Offers mentoring / coaching opportunities for younger players (as means of developing future coaches and as a way to preserve Minnesota Lacrosse tradition)
  • Offers financial support to those in need to ensure that all players may experience the game and reach their full potential regardless of socio-economic background. 
  • Continually evaluates and develops each other’s efforts and growth as coaches, players and administrators.  
  • Develops and maintains a staff of peers who share the same passion for Minnesota lacrosse. 
  • And above all shares a passion for the game and has fun doing so.
