WHO WE ARE
Stampede Lacrosse is a nonprofit leadership development organization built to strengthen access, continuity, and representation in lacrosse. We use the sport as a vehicle to develop disciplined leaders and expand long term opportunity for student athletes and youth from underrepresented communities.
Equity and Representation:
Leadership and opportunity should not be limited by background, and representation matters at every level.
Leadership Through Growth and Service:
We cultivate disciplined leaders who learn from adversity, serve their communities, and pursue excellence across athletics, academics, and personal development.
Collaboration and Integrity:
Sustainable impact is built on trust, accountability, and shared responsibility.
Holistic Growth:
Athletics should support academic, personal, and professional development.
LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY
Stampede believes leadership is learned through what you do every day, not what you are called.​
Responsibility:
Student-athletes are given real work; planning, organizing, supporting teammates and are expected to follow through
Service:
They lead by mentoring youth and contributing to partner programs, learning that leadership is about what you give, not what you get.​
Consistency:
Growth is measured over time; how they show up at practice, in the classroom, and in the community, week after week.
Our aim is to develop leaders who can be trusted
