Welcome to Stonington Bears Youth Lacrosse

It has long been understood that community youth sports programs add significantly to the emotional, physical, and social growth of children. Time spent together and challenges faced, both on and off the field, allow these young athletes to develop a deeper understanding of hard work, commitment, and friendship.

Stonington Bears Youth Lacrosse programs is not a “school-sponsored sport”. We receive no funding from the school districts, city, county, or state. Instead we are a “pay to play sport” and your in-kind donation will not only help make it more affordable for the children to play, but also provides an opportunity to scale the organization, modeling the growth and success of our regional peer programs with whom we compete.

This is where Stonington Bears Youth Lacrosse needs your support! Expenses include uniforms, field equipment, field rentals, referees, tournament fees and so much much more. Our player fees do not cover even half of our total costs. Therefore, to assist us with meeting our financial demands, we need the help of generous businesses and donors like you who value all that community sports offers. Sponsorship is also a proven cost-effective marketing tool to share your brand among the many families, visitors, and teams we play locally and regionally.
