LIFT Athletics is changing the way athletes and coaches engage in competitive sports.

LIFT is about more than athletics. Because our coaches and players are more than just athletes.

We exist to deliver a different version of competitive club sports. We strive to develop the whole person, in both our coaches and athletes and use sports as a vehicle to help each individual discover their unique, God-given talents and then further help them utilize those talents to make a positive impact in the world. Our staff, led by program founder and coach Pat Thatcher, brings decades of experience in youth, club, and collegiate athletics and is here to help players excel in who they are on and off the field. This is a community that values every player, parent, and coach as essential pieces of a greater whole. All are welcome.

LIFT Lacrosse is such a welcoming environment and has brought me toward some of my best friends. It is filled with loving people and coaches who have filled me with so much knowledge, and left me full of confidence and love for the sport. I came to realize a team should feel like a family, and I am blessed to be a part of it!
