Power & 970 transition statement
Northern Colorado Lacrosse Community,
Growing the game is our passion, building great people is our mission. This has been our north star for over nine years, and I’m constantly amazed at the way lacrosse and sports have the capacity to bring people together, teach life lessons, and foster meaningful bonds and memories that last forever. With nine years of experience building and running lacrosse organizations, this mission has never changed or faltered. Lacrosse is called the medicine game for a reason, and it continues to be one of the most powerful tools to cultivate growth on and off the field. I’m ecstatic to share this mission with the Northern Colorado lacrosse community of Fort Collins, Windsor, Loveland, and surrounding areas.
Who We Are
Systems need energy! The most effective and efficient systems reach maximum capacity and beyond with mass quantities of energy and power. Energy fuels these systems to help them create and sustain momentum. We’re excited to bring this new voltage to Northern Colorado. I am pleased to introduce Northern Power Lacrosse. The goal of the organization is simple. Bring new energy, unify the community, and help northern Colorado lacrosse reach its full potential. Power is founded under a cultural blueprint that has three pillars to success, three behaviors and attitudes, and three response based outcomes. This blueprint will be the focal point of our development systems, and will help our players rapidly develop positive habits and attitudes that take their game, performance, and character to the next level.

We are currently in the process of interviewing for a girls Director and have some tremendous leads. Building the girls program in Northern Colorado is a major priority for us, and we can’t wait to foster new growth in the Northern Colorado Lacrosse Community.
Coaches
It is our goal to continue to utilize the best coaches of 970 Lax while also bringing in new experienced coaches as well. All of our coaches will be trained in our age specific development systems, where players can rapidly develop skills that will help them grow on and off the field. More coaches to be announced soon!
High School Coaches
We are neutral to all high schools and plan to be an unbiased feeder program where players are not only prepared to play at the next level, but hopefully meet and learn from their future high school coaches in the process.
