About the team
218 Lacrosse is a youth-focused lacrosse organization dedicated to developing girls’ lacrosse in northern Minnesota. The club aims to provide a positive and inclusive environment for young players to learn and enjoy the sport of lacrosse. They offer both spring and summer programs, catering to different age groups and skill levels.
In the spring season, 218 Lax serves as the home for girls youth lacrosse players from 6U to 14U, bringing together young athletes from multiple communities in the area. Their teams, known as the Valkyries, participate in the GNLL Spring League, which includes weekend games and culminates in the Spring State Tournament. The club emphasizes skill development and fun, particularly for younger age groups, with a gradual introduction to competitive play as players progress.
For the summer season, 218 Lax offers more competitive programs for 14U and 18U players. This expansion into summer lacrosse, which began in 2022 and grew in 2023, demonstrates the club’s commitment to providing year-round opportunities for players to improve their skills and compete at higher levels. The club utilizes various facilities in the area, including Klang Park in Duluth and the Rails Indoor Complex in Proctor, to ensure players have access to quality training environments throughout the year.
