Founded in 2006, North County Lacrosse, a Lynden based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, works to create positive change in the lives of young people. Our program is made up from athletes in the Lynden, Nooksack, Mount Baker, Meridian, Blaine, and Ferndale School Districts. We offer recreational lacrosse for boys and girls in grades K through 12.
All of our youth coaches are volunteers and have a minimum US Lacrosse level 1 Certification with PCA (Positive Coaching Alliance) training, Concussion certifications, CPR and First Aid training, as well as background checks through USA Lacrosse. We have a collaborative approach to coaching at all levels from K2 to High School.
Youth games are played locally and throughout the North Sound area with North Sound Youth Lacrosse member teams, using US Lacrosse rules and NSYL amended rules. Our High School team plays within the Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association league.
The organization’s mission is to build a Whatcom County wide community that inspires and empowers youth to excel in life and lacrosse. We achieve our mission through a wide variety of programs designed to develop character, build self-confidence, and instill a sense of community. We feel that our rural agricultural community is the perfect place to "Grow the Game" and develop county wide community supported lacrosse programs.
