Mission: To honor and grow the game of lacrosse through community, culture, and commitment.
Vision: Build a successful Native-led box lacrosse team that blends tradition with competition and encourages youth participation and instruction.

Our Story
Founded in 2025, Oneida Lacrosse Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to growing the game of lacrosse while honoring its deep-rooted history. Forged through adversity and fueled by resilience, we are more than just a team—we are a movement built on perseverance, unity, and respect for the game.
Rooted in the proud heritage of the Oneida People, our club represents more than competition—it is a symbol of strength, renewal, and the enduring power of lacrosse. A game that has been played for centuries, lacrosse is more than a sport—it is a medicine, a battle, and a way of life.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are committed to expanding access to lacrosse, developing athletes, and fostering leadership within our community. Through organized play, mentorship, and community-driven initiatives, we stand as a testament to new beginnings, carrying forward the spirit of those who played before us while paving the way for future generations.
Every time we step on the field, we play with honor, with heart, and with the unshakable belief that we are part of something greater than ourselves. Oneida Lacrosse Club is more than a team—it is a rebirth, a movement, and a promise that we are here to stay.
