SPRING SEASON REGISTRATION OPEN

We are continuing our Development Campaign, the SWARM Initiative Fund, in 2022 and move us into our next decade.  The goal of these funds is outlined on the enclosed link (scroll down profile page to select campaign) and highlights new program initiatives including:

NCSA (Next College Student Athlete) Scholarships

Swarm Seniors - College Grants

RFLC Coaches Fund

RFLC Girls & Boys Program Directors

RFLC Operating Fund

This campaign was initially slated to launch last Feb and then the pandemic hit.  While we understand the challenges so many of us have had to endure, with confidence we have all created a community asset in RFLC for our Valley's youth, and are enthusiastic to come out of this pandemic setback with a renewed appreciation for providing an opportunity for our children to get outside (!) and enjoy the sport of lacrosse.  If able, please donate today to support RFLC - if not at this time, please spread the word on RFLC and SWARM Nation, we'd greatly appreciate it.  The campaign will run through 2021.

We look forward to another great season of RFLC lacrosse - thank you for your support!
