ABOUT US

Greeneville Lacrosse Club (GLC) is a nonprofit 501c3 organization, founded in 2017, that provides low-cost lacrosse to the youth in Greeneville and Greene County. We believe that lacrosse is for everyone and should be accessible to all children, despite the various barriers of entry that exist in rural areas such as cost, perception, and logistics. Through the sport of lacrosse, we strive to open up endless opportunities for the youth of Greeneville and Greene County. 
Our program is open to boys and girls from Pre-K through 12th grade. We are an organization with a purpose and with responsibilities. Our success depends on volunteer effort.

On the surface, our objective is to teach proper lacrosse. But at a deeper level, our goal is to teach life lessons in the process. That means GLC views its role as helping its players learn the relationship between effort and reward; how to make informed choices; the value of earning and showing respect; and the benefits of teamwork. 

Our emphasis is on doing our best. In sports, that means a sincere effort towards winning. Without that sincere effort, we do a disservice to lacrosse, our competitors, those who provide us the opportunity to play, and to ourselves. It also allows us to deal with our disappointment with losing by renewing our commitment to doing even better next time.

Above all else, we play with a commitment to true sportsmanship. To compete by cheating; to display arrogance; to endanger others through unsafe play; to indulge in self-centered displays of either glory or failure; or any other form of disrespect is to deprive yourself of pride.


MISSION: To promote, grow, and teach the sport of lacrosse, develop strength of character in a positive culture while encouraging players to be the best person they can be both on and off the field.

VISION: To grow the sport of lacrosse in Greeneville and Greene County so that any and every child that wishes to participate will be given the opportunity.
