South Tampa Lacrosse Center
We have entered into a contract with the School Board of Hillsborough County for the development and use of a new facility located at Anderson Elementary School, which ultimately will provide for 3 fields, available for all of our programs. There are several phases in our commitment. We need your help in funding this development for our future. Our first priority is to grade, sod and light a game playable field and grade the adjoining practice field. Our fund-raising goal for Phase I is $125,000. Phase II will include irrigating the practice field and an additional field, additional lighting, and constuction of restrooms, a concession stand and an equipment storage facility. Development of this new facility is an integral part of our long term goal of having sufficient space for practice and games for all of our programs. Please contribute so that together we can further our programs as the premier youth lacrosse organization in the area. We are currently accepting donations and pledges. These can be made by downloading, printing and completing the Pledge/Donation Card (which can be accessed at the very bottom of the page by clicking on the "Pledge Card" link) and returning it with the current portion of your donation as follows:
