About Us
The Silver Spring Warriors Youth Lacrosse Club (SSLC) is a non-profit organization that has been a mainstay of youth lacrosse in Silver Spring/Burtonsville, Maryland since 2001.
Our mission is to provide a safe, secure, and supportive environment in the Silver Spring/Burtonsville area for student-athletes to enjoy and learn the game of lacrosse. We are committed to promoting, organizing, and advancing the lacrosse community by being a resource and encouraging foundation for established and new programs alike. Further growth will be cultivated by providing a positive atmosphere where emphasis is placed on a mutual respect for all individuals, teams, coaches, officials, parents, and fans.
By focusing on constructive education and personal development, participants will have the opportunity to maximize achievement through their individual and collective efforts. The development of the players' self confidence and sportsmanship will enhance their social, emotional, and intellectual growth and empower them to be productive members of their school, community, and charitable considerations.
