Our Commitment toEquity and Access
At Egg and Spoon Lacrosse, we are deeply committed to making lacrosse, in the greater Seattle area, accessible to groups who have a history of being marginalized in this sport we love so much. As part of our ongoing work, we provide, in partnership with NW People of Color Coaching Collective, free lacrosse opportunities for youth in communities of color throughout the year, including TryLax Clinics, recruitment to club teams, ect.
Because we know that cost, gear, and transportation are the main barriers for participating in camp, we offer loaner gear, help with coordinating transportation as needed, and, yearly, increasing the amount of financial aid available.
