WELCOME TO TRIPLE THREAT


At Triple Threat Lacrosse, our aim is simple. We are providing our student-athletes with the tools to help them become the ultimate 'triple threat.' We combine (1) skill and lacrosse IQ enhancement with (2) character and leadership building, along with (3) mental and physical wellness education, to empower the complete athlete—both on and off the field. 

A little bit about us...
