Gunpowder
Why Gunpowder?
At Gunpowder Lacrosse Club, we believe championships, college opportunities, and lifelong success all begin with player development.
GP is built for families looking for more than participation trophies. We develop tough, disciplined athletes ready to compete and earn everything.
Our year-round program provides athletes with consistent opportunities to train, compete, and grow through top-tier coaching, specialized position training, strength and conditioning, and meaningful competition.
Led by experienced coaches certified through USA Lacrosse and the Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), our staff is committed to creating an environment where athletes are challenged, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Because when you invest in development, winning follows.
More affordable
As a nonprofit 501(c)(3), our fees are based on real operating costs that cover fields, insurance, coaching stipends, tournaments, clinics, and more. And as a result, more affordable than most clubs.
Families can pay in full up front or have the option to pay in monthly installments.
Every season has a purpose
Development doesn't happen in a single season. Our year-round training keeps our athletes engaged, improving, and prepared for the next challenge while still encouraging participation in other sports.
- Fall Practices
- Winter Indoor Training
- Spring League Practices
- Summer Team Practices
- Position Clinics

Develop players. Win games.
Strong fundamentals are only part of what we develop. We build confident, disciplined athletes with the character to compete the right way.
When athletes grow as complete players, winning becomes a natural result. We focus on long-term growth through:
- Lacrosse IQ
- Leadership
- Character
- Confidence
- Accountability
- Teamwork
Winning a weekend tournament is exciting, but our experience shows that developing athletes who continue to improve for years is far more valuable.
