WELCOME TO LKN FREEDOM LACROSSE

Our program is designed for players in the North Charlotte / Lake Norman area who want to improve their lacrosse skills, develop stronger lacrosse IQ, and play in a competitive and fun environment. We will field competitive teams that will play in three local area tournaments. All athletes will have the opportunity to learn from local high school coaches and college players, while minimizing travel time and expenses as well as financial commitment of other programs. Each team will have two coaches and, in addition, will benefit from specific skill instruction for FOGOs and Goalies. LKN Freedom is committed to helping each athlete become stronger lacrosse players and better teammates.

Want to stay local over the summer? Improve as a player? Have fun competing?... and get some great gear? Register below.
