Denver City Lax is a Colorado non-profit organization developing a sports-based youth development program that involves elementary and middle school students playing lacrosse in underserved neighborhoods in the Denver metro area.  

US Lacrosse, the national governing body for lacrosse, selected Denver City Lax as a BRIDGE affiliate to join other urban lacrosse programs around the country dedicated to Building Relationships to Initiate Diversity, Growth and Enrichment through the sport of lacrosse. 

Congratulations to City Lax teams
7th Boys - champions (blue division)
5th Boys - 2nd place (white division)
3rd Boys, 6th Boys and 7th girls - great seasons! 



 

Lacrosse offers both on-field and off-field opportunities for students.  The game provides a framework to teach character, sportsmanship and other values that can contribute to success in school and life.
