  1. Program Overview Our mission is to provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment for our student – athletes here at Arrowhead High School by providing a positive atmosphere where emphasis is placed on a mutual respect for all individuals, teams, coaches, officials, parents, and fans. By focusing on constructive education and personal development, participants will have the opportunity to maximize achievement through their individual and collective efforts. The development of the players' self confidence and sportsmanship will enhance their social, emotional, and intellectual growth while empowering them to be productive members of their school, community, and charitable considerations. And finally, by promoting a positive culture and love for the game we will offer rewarding experiences and allow lacrosse to enrich their lives for years to come.
