Focused on the development and growth of girls and boys lacrosse players from Kindergarten to 12th Grade in the Wood River Valley and throughout Blaine County, Idaho.

Sun Valley Lacrosse is committed to the successful development of character and sportsmanship while creating leaders both on and off the lacrosse field.
The Sun Valley Lacrosse community is committed to providing the highest level of instruction for our athletes to bring each player to their fullest potential by becoming a champion in sport, school and in life, One Goal at a time.

At the core of the Sun Valley Lacrosse philosophy is a growth mindset. The “One Goal” mantra shows Sun Valley athletes the path within this mindset. “One Goal” is an individual and group mindset of breaking down large, seemingly unattainable tasks into smaller, more attainable tasks. The mindset teaches resiliency, discipline, and focused energy. The “One Goal” huddle break refocuses the individual and the team on the steps it takes to be a champion in sport and in life. It was first used by Tri-State Lacrosse founder Bob Turco.
