OUR MOTTO: Active Participation;Positive Effort; Optimal Performance

SLLA honors and respects our opponent, the referees and minor officials in competition.

SLLA believes that participation in the sport of lacrosse develops a strong mind, strong body and strong spirit.

SLLA believes in the principles of fair play and respect within our sport: we believe that every player has the right to participate in the sport of lacrosse equally and without discrimination of any kind.

SLLA believes that the learning and development that occurs on the journey toward winning is ultimately more valuable to the participants than the actual win.
