Help Us Bring the Joy of Lacrosse to Kids Across the Country.

First Cradle Lacrosse is growing—and we’re inviting passionate leaders to join us in spreading the game to communities nationwide. We’ve built a powerful model for early childhood lacrosse programs rooted in fun, development and community connection.

The Brandywine Valley is our home base—yours could be next.

Why First Cradle?

  • A Unique Niche
    First Cradle introduces children ages 2–5th grade to lacrosse through age-appropriate drills, soft sticks and play-based games. We meet kids where they are developmentally—and help them fall in love with the game.

  • Proven Demand
    Parents are seeking local, high-quality programs that build confidence, character and coordination through play. We’ve seen it firsthand and we’ll help you tap into that momentum in your area.

  • Purpose-Driven Business
    First Cradle combines youth development, community engagement and entrepreneurship into one powerful opportunity. You don’t just coach—you lead.
