Our Mission …
The Beach Dogs Lacrosse & Aquidneck Cannons Lacrosse Club (ACLC) is a comprehensive, developmental club lacrosse program for players committed to playing lacrosse at a high level. The mission of the program is to enhance our players lives through the sport of lacrosse, teaching teamwork, developing leaders, and building character.
We believe the foundation of the sport lies in its deep roots and history, which we work hard to instill in all our programs.
Lacrosse can open doors for our players and create opportunities with secondary schools and colleges, for international travel, and more. Aside from the pure joy of playing the game, we hope our players benefit from the camaraderie of committing to and cooperating with a team and become guardians of the sport we love.
