Program Overview
Our mission is to provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for our
student – athletes here at Arrowhead High School by providing a positive
atmosphere where emphasis is placed on a mutual respect for all individuals,
teams, coaches, officials, parents, and fans.
By focusing on constructive education and personal development, participants
will have the opportunity to maximize achievement through their individual and
collective efforts. The development of the players' self confidence and
sportsmanship will enhance their social, emotional, and intellectual growth
while empowering them to be productive members of their school, community,
and charitable considerations.
And finally, by promoting a positive culture and love for the game we will offer
rewarding experiences and allow lacrosse to enrich their lives for years to
come.
