History of JTAA Tide Lacrosse

Are you familiar with the history of how JTAA Lacrosse was started? Not many people are and have asked us.

We have put together this history of the program including when it started and who helped start and shape JTAA Lacrosse in the early years, and how we became the largest youth rec lacrosse organization for both boys and girls in the southeastern United States today.

Our story is told so the kids are aware of all the hard work and countless hours of time and effort that have gone into this program for them to be able to play the game today.
