Santa Barbara Mission Lacrosse Club 14U Girls Battle In LA
Mission Lacrosse Club is a competitive travel team club for girls in Santa Barbara. It is the local team for local girls. The 14U girls of Mission Lacrosse Club in Santa Barbara made history in Spring 2019 and made the news. Sixteen local girls played for Mission LC in the Pacific Edge Lacrosse Association and competed with the youth feeder programs made up of girls matriculating into top ranked Los Angeles area high schools. Mission played teams of girls going to play at schools like Glendale, Mira Costa, Palos Verdes, Peninsula and Redondo Union, all perennial play-off teams. Some said it couldn't be done. Yet the team formed by demand for it and slowly, almost one-by-one, more girls joined. The girls took their lumps at times in their transition from recreational players to competitive players. Their overall record was 4-6-1 but the progress to the level of play in their post-season is the story. Click here to read it on Noozhawk. Click here to sign up for MLC Summer Teams.

LATEST EXPEDITIONS
One of our 805 Lacrosse Project teams, Mission LC SB 14U, played the first competitive spring
season for a youth girls lacrosse team in Santa Barbara. Sixteen select local girls played
in the Pacific Edge Lacrosse Association and competed with the youth feeder programs
made up of girls matriculating into top ranked Los Angeles area high schools.
805 Lacrosse Project is making the rounds at
local schools conducting P.E. lacrosse lessons. This grassroots work will put sticks in
more hands all over town. This ongoing effort will introduce lacrosse to both
boys and girls in grades K - 8 at both public and private schools.
Prior to that the inaugural Mission Lacrosse League started Fall 2018. The MLL
featured divisions for 5th - 8th grade players. Practices were
on Tuesdays and Thursdays with games on Saturdays.
Prior to that 805 Lacrosse Project executive director Paul Ramsey concluded his fourth year
volunteering on the Board of Directors for the Santa Barbara Girls Lacrosse Association.
During Spring 2018 Ramsey served as Programs Committee Chair and helped build the
SBGLA Spring League into a 144 girl program. The league featured divisions for 8 & Under, 10 & Under,
12 & Under and 14 & Under girls. Practices were at local schools and game days were at Dos Pueblos High School.
Past capacities volunteering with the SBGLA included being President of the 501(c)3 non-profit.
Prior to that our most recent efforts were two outreach clinics in the Santa Ynez Valley.
In the first clinic 12 boys & 12 girls experienced lacrosse for the first time.
In the second clinic it were 16 boys & 16 girls and many new players had fun.
Paul Ramsey and UCSB head coach Mike Allan coached at the clinics.
It is the first time any of us have experienced a 50/50 ratio at something
in sports, much more in two back to back clinics in the same area.
