Committed. Resilient. Together.
***Registration Opens 12/1***
Beginner? We have beginner teams in every age group!
Mission: Continue to bring new voltage to Northern Colorado. Growing the game is our passion, and building great people is our mission. Northern Power has been established to provide growth, prevalence, and community for players of all ages and experience levels in Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, and other surrounding areas.
The Northern Power blueprint contains three pillars: Committed, Resilient, and Together. We believe that these pillars and the specific behaviors associated with them dictate success in lacrosse and all aspects of life. We emphasize the blueprint regularly and reinforce it through numerous character workshops and leadership seminars throughout the year.
We pride ourselves on having the best coaches in the state! All coaches are trained in the NP Curriculum, and the majority of coaches have high-level playing and coaching experience. We choose to coach through inspiration and rewarding excellence rather than demanding obedience. We lean on the Power Blueprint of Committed, Resilient, and Together to guide our teams to be Better Players and Better People.
