Financial Assistance Program

The Seneca Valley Lacrosse Association’s goal is to introduce the sport of lacrosse to as many children within our district as possible. There are times when the cost associated with playing may restrict a child from pursuing the sport. We don’t want that to happen.

Through generous donations, we can offer financial assistance for families who may be experiencing financial hardship. For the 2024 season, we would like to extend this opportunity to any player within the Seneca Valley School District who is unable to cover the registration fees to play lacrosse this Spring. We are accepting interest and nominations for this financial assistance program.

If you are interested for your family or would like to nominate a family, please send a confidential email to admin@svlacrosse.org or any board member (Click Here).

Program questions can be emailed to admin@svlacrosse.org. 

Registration questions can be emailed to lindsbkr@gmail.com.

Apparel/Uniform questions can be emailed to apparel@svlacrosse.org
