I started Rising Tide Lacrosse because I believe the game has the power to shape lives far beyond the field. As a young athlete, I was fortunate to have coaches, mentors, and teammates who opened doors and created opportunities that helped shape who I am today, including my incredible cofounders. Our goal is to provide that same opportunity for the next generation by creating a positive, competitive, and community-driven environment where athletes can learn, compete, have fun, and build meaningful connections that last long after their playing days are over.

Who We Are
-
At Rising Tide Lacrosse, success is about more than goals, wins, or highlight plays.
It's about showing up prepared.
It's about competing when things get difficult.
It's about being a great teammate, a great leader, and someone others can count on.
We believe confidence comes from preparation, not shortcuts.
We believe athletes grow when they are challenged and supported.
Most importantly, we believe every player deserves a place where they can improve, belong, and enjoy the game.
-
At Rising Tide Lacrosse, we're not just developing athletes.
We're helping young people build the habits, confidence, and character that will serve them long after their playing days are over. We believe sports are one of life's greatest teachers. Through competition, athletes learn resilience.
Through teamwork, they learn selflessness.
Through challenges, they discover confidence.
Through accountability, they learn leadership.
Our goal is to create an environment where players are challenged, supported, and inspired to become the best version of themselves on the field, in the classroom, and in their communities.
The RT Standard means:
• Show Up Prepared
• Compete With Purpose
• Treat People Well
• Be a Great Teammate
• Embrace Challenges
• Lead By Example
• Give Back To Your Community
• Leave Things Better Than You Found ThemWe believe success is measured by more than goals, assists, wins, or championships.
Success is becoming someone others trust, respect, and want beside them when things get difficult.
Because a rising tide lifts all players.

What started as a simple idea, to give local athletes more opportunities to learn, compete, and grow, has become something much bigger.
We're proud of what we've built so far, but even more excited about what's ahead. Our goal isn't simply to develop better lacrosse players. It's to help young people build confidence, create lasting friendships, and become leaders who make a positive impact wherever they go.

Competition that teaches strategy, grit, and sportsmanship
