Volunteer

We need volunteers to successfully run a season. Below are options to volunteer.

We expect a parent (per family) to participate in volunteering support the team.  Some options exist that can be flexible to your schedule and take minimal time, but are very important for our team success!  If you are unable to support the team with your time, a volunteer buyout option is available and that extra funding can be used then to support scholarships or other team functions (spring and fall clinics) to reduce cost to players.

About US

Build Lacrosse, Develop Players, Achieve as a Team

Columbia Missouri Area Girls Lacrosse is a club team and is currently not affiliated with any school.   We are a 501(c)3 Missouri Non-Profit organization educating girls in the sport of lacrosse.  We are operated by supportive community leaders, parents, and students.

We can have players from any school in our area participate in our club.  In recent years Girls lacrosse has been approved by MSHSAA to be a school sanctioned sport.

Our goal is to continue to develop our sport to recommend Columbia Public Schools to add it as a school sanctioned sport.
