Kate and Lauren created Neon Lacrosse to help girls of all ages develop the mental and physical abilities to be a standout player.

 

Neon is from the Greek word néon (νέον) which means "new". We believe that every single rep, every single play is a new opportunity to win.  When wearing neon you exude happiness, energy and confidence. This is exactly what we look to develop, girls who have the mental and physical strength to become all around leaders!

 

In August of 2024, at the age of 41, Kate was diagnosed with breast cancer.  It was Lauren who encouraged her to share her story to inspire others. Lauren was a constant source of positivity for Kate on her journey and together they said something positive will come from this negative. Enter the creation of Neon Lacrosse.

 

Kate knows that growing up as an athlete, it helped her conquer cancer. Her mental and physical fortitude was tested but it was a top surgeon who said to Kate, “the power of perspective is everything.” Just like we train ourselves to use our non-dominant hand we must do the same with our mind. Mental strength is like a muscle. It must be developed, strengthened and conditioned for greatness.

 

Our involvement with the elite Long Island Yellow Jackets program helped lay the foundation for Neon Lacrosse.  We promise to prioritize reps over numbers and find a balance between discipline and fun in our training.

​

Our tournaments are fun and fast paced sixes style games. This allows girls to pick up and play whether it be with friends or an organized club team.  The tournament atmosphere is fun, high-energy, competitive, fueled by a positive spirit and opportunities for girls to shine!

Girls should walk away from a Neon experience with a sense of confidence and a new found level of mental and physical toughness. Be bold, be a star and choose Neon Lacrosse.
