Inspired by Attorney Charles Gibson, a dedicated advocate for social justice in Miami, our mission goes beyond merely introducing lacrosse to the city’s under-resourced communities and youth. Through the sport, we aim to instill values of leadership, discipline, and teamwork while preserving the spirit of the game. Our journey reflects the legacy of the Gibson family, champions of equality and activism.
Join us in this transformative movement. We are a 100% volunteer organization, with all proceeds directly supporting children through equipment, insurance, transportation, food, and travel—no one receives a salary or stipend from our fundraising efforts. Since our founding in 2021, we take great pride in our accomplishments, as our participants are now highly sought after by the premier private schools in the state.
Our mission is to introduce our youth to the world of lacrosse, expanding their horizons and building bridges of understanding between diverse communities. Beyond teaching the sport, we're invested in nurturing life skills, year-round engagement, and holistic personal growth. Our goal is to give our student athletes options to attend the best high schools across South Florida.
