PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The ESP Viper lacrosse program was founded in 1997 with one team of 20 players.  Today, the program
supports over 175 players (of
all skill levels) ranging from ages 3-14.  Over the past decade, our program has
developed dozens of former Vipers who, not only have helped their local high school teams to Championships,
but who are participating at the collegiate level as well.  Much like its sibling progam, the Lady Viper Lacrosse
Program (girls), the Vipers offer great experiences on and off the field.  Here are some of the events & activities
we offer our girls throughout the season:

* "Meet Your Coach Night" (with the girls program)
* Division 1 NCAA Men's lacrosse game field trip
* Basket Bingo Fund-Raiser Night
* Parents Appreciation Day (with the girls program)
* Post-Season Lacrosse Tournament (early June)
* Summer Lacrosse Party @ Fort Howard (with the girls program)

Learning this fast and exciting sport is a great experience for any child looking for new challenges.  We offer
these experiences while providing a fun, safe and educational environment.  So take that first big step in
learning the "
FASTEST GAME ON TWO FEET".  Get involved today!
