Bringing new voltage to Northern Colorado. Growing the game is our passion. Building great people is our purpose.
Northern Power Lacrosse is committed to growing the game of girls' lacrosse throughout Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, and the surrounding Northern Colorado communities. We strive to create opportunities for players of all ages and experience levels to learn, compete, build friendships, and develop a lifelong love for the game.
Our mission goes beyond lacrosse. We believe sports have the power to shape confident athletes, strong teammates, and great people. We want every player to leave our program not only as a better lacrosse player, but as a better teammate, leader, and person.
Early bird spring registration before december 1st
Extreme Girl Power Values
Everything we do is guided by five core values: Kindness, Respect, Energy, Accountability, and Being All In.
The Power Blueprint
Our five core values are reinforced through the three pillars of the Northern Power Blueprint: Committed. Resilient. Together.
These pillars guide how we practice, compete, communicate, and carry ourselves beyond the field. Through consistent reinforcement, character development, and leadership opportunities, we teach our athletes that the lessons learned through lacrosse extend into every aspect of life.
Our Coaching Philosophy
We believe great coaching is about more than teaching the game. It's about inspiring athletes to recognize their potential, challenging them to grow, and creating an environment where they feel supported and empowered to succeed.
Our coaches are trained in the Northern Power curriculum, with many bringing high-level playing and coaching experience. We prioritize positive leadership, meaningful relationships, skill development, and rewarding excellence. We believe in teaching through inspiration rather than demanding obedience, and in holding players to high standards while giving them the support to reach them.
At Northern Power, we strive to build a community where athletes are encouraged to be confident, work hard, respect the game, and lift each other up.
Better Players. Better People. Stronger Together. That's the Power Blueprint.
