The Eureka Lacrosse Club is a competitive boys lacrosse program comprised of students who attend Eureka High School or one of its feeder schools.
The Club's tradition is built on the love for the game of lacrosse, enthusiasm for introducing the sport to new players, exceptional coaching, and superior sportsmanship. Our ultimate goal is to help all our student-athletes achieve their highest potential by motivating them to play to the best of their ability and collectively surpassing individual aspirations for the greater good of the team.
We support our players and coaches with a deep network that includes alumni, former coaches, parent volunteers, and board members (past and present).
In Missouri, boys lacrosse programs are governed by the Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association, an all-volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to growing the sport of lacrosse in the state of Missouri.
