Our Story
At the Little Lacrosse Academy we are extremely passionate about the sport of lacrosse. So much so, that we have dedicated our energy and enthusiasm to our youngest generation of future athletes. Our mission is to make learning the fastest growing sport in America simple, safe, and, most importantly, fun for boys and girls aged eighteen months to five years old.
The Little Lacrosse Academy is the passion project of Cat Thoreson (Hofstra ‘09), a former collegiate coach and mom to two rambunctious toddlers. Determined to create a program for her children that shared her love of the sport as well as aided in their development, coordination, and social growth, the Little Lacrosse Academy was born. Classes kicked off in March of 2018 and, well, the rest is kind of history.
