Mission Statement: Central Coast Lacrosse Association is a female run, non-profit organization located in Santa Cruz County.  CCLA exists to promote and educate girls in the skill, knowledge, sportsmanship, and love of women’s lacrosse. We created this organization to provide a medium for girls and women to develop their talent, test their strengths, embrace sportsmanship and experience camaraderie with others that love the game. We will be offering leagues, camps, clinics, and tournaments in the communities throughout the Central Coast.
