“As one of the original lacrosse equipment manufacturers, Brine has a long history of helping grow the game. We are excited to join with Warrior and the US Lacrosse Foundation to help boys and girls across the country come to learn and love this great sport,” said Jess Hanson, Brine Lacrosse Product Manager.

The First Stick Program delivers comprehensive US Lacrosse developmental and safety resources, equipment, US Lacrosse membership and coach training to awarded teams, who apply for grants. The ultimate goal of each two-year partnership is to develop self-sustaining youth lacrosse programs that operate by US Lacrosse national standards and best practices.
“This donation will help fulfill our mission of putting more sticks in the hands of kids who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience the great game of lacrosse,” said Susie Chase, VP, US Lacrosse Foundation.
