VERDE VALLEY VORTEX
The Verde Valley Boys & Girls Lacrosse Program is bringing fun, inclusive, rec-first lacrosse to Northern Arizona. As a program of Northern Arizona Youth Lacrosse and in alignment with USA Lacrosse, we are committed to building opportunities for local kids to learn the game, grow as athletes, and be part of something exciting right here in the verde valley!
Registration is now open for our inaugural Fall 2026 season and look forward to welcoming boys and girls who want to play, learn, and be part of a positive team environment. Whether your child is brand new to lacrosse or ready to keep developing their skills, our goal is to create a program that is fun, supportive, community-driven, and accessible to families in the quad cities.
