Based in Dallas and Austin, our mission is to use the sport of lacrosse to broaden the horizons of our youth.

About us

We, the Bridge Family, are a sports-based youth development nonprofit serving the urban communities of North and Central Texas. Our mission is to use lacrosse to broaden the horizons of our community's youth. In 2004, our programming began with a small summer lacrosse camp in South Dallas. In 2008, we officially became Bridge Lacrosse after seeing incredible progress in programming, and even greater opportunities to impact youth. We provide hours of high-quality lacrosse instruction, with the help of high school volunteers and coaches, as well as providing new experiences and opportunities for personal growth. Our greater purpose is to use this unique and nontraditional sport to help close the opportunity gap that exists in many areas of North and Central Texas. For us, we believe that sports can be an integral part of a child's development. In 2024, the organization New Horizons Lacrosse merged into Bridge Lacrosse where we expanded to create Bridge Austin. For more information, please contact: info@bridgelacrosse.org.

    That’s a wrap on our 5th Summer Academy! We are all headed home with new friends, new experiences, and new ideas for our futures. We are so thankful for the opportunity to give our student-athletes this time together and we cannot wait for next year. Big shoutout to all our campers, staff and coaches, and to each and every donor that supported us. Thank you to our partners and friends in Houston and Chicago for entrusting us with your student-athletes. We want to send a special thank you to the Kate Risley Foundation, Stephen D. Menzies Rising Youth Athletics Foundation and the DICK'S Sporting Goods Foundation for the amazing generosity to host Summer Academy! Lastly, we want to congratulate our two Legacy Award winners, Alani (Houston) and Omar (Dallas), chosen based on their growth, leadership and what it means to leave a legacy at camp. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

    Summer Academy is coming to a close and we are in the last full day of camp before more than 60 kids make their way back home to Dallas, Austin, Houston and Chicago. This campus has provided us with an amazing space to teach and instruct, and we are thankful for the opportunity to work with incredible kids. No Summer Academy could be successful without the people and the alumni that return to Bridge, every camp, and give back to our campers to help them prepare and succeed. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

    Greetings from Summer Academy in San Marcos, Texas and the beautiful campus of Texas State University! This is our 5th Summer Academy and we felt it was time to make some updates and improvements to camp. For 2024, we chose a new college campus to host our first-ever all high school camp and made some big changes to the schedule. Every event and activity throughout the 6-days is intentional and purposeful, and our ultimate goal is that every student-athlete improves on the field and has a greater understanding to college success. It's great to be here and we are thankful to everyone that helped us make this our best Summer Academy yet. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

    Family Friday | Our career exploration events have been incredible and in-depth experiences for our student-athletes and alumni. Today, we spent time getting to know some amazing young attorneys at Holland & Knight. We want to thank our board member, Robert Jones, for introducing us to Sanaa, Chloe and Tricia, and giving us a great opportunity to learn more about their firm and the journey in becoming a lawyer. #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia

    Family Friday | The origins of Bridge can be traced back more than 20 years ago to St. Philip's School and Community Center, one of our long standing partners. Many of those first student-athletes and Saints can still be found at home within our Bridge Family as alumni. Special shoutout to these five former Saints, four of whom now coaching with us in the spring! Two claps for Alexander Huerta, Zach Thompson, Chase Snowden, Jacob Gonzalez and Reese Hicks. #bridgefamily #bridgefamily

    Summer Academy is around the corner and we are excited to announce that, this year, we’ll be headed to San Marcos and the campus of Texas State University. We are excited to host Summer Academy as an all-high school camp with student-athletes from four cities; Dallas, Austin, Houston & Chicago. We are ready for a new adventure, a new look and a new feel for this year’s camp. For summer 2024, our camp logo helps us represent our new campus and the Texas State mascot, the Bobcat. We’re ready to go for a great event and to see everyone in San Marcos! #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia #eatemupcats

    Family Friday | It’s the return of our college campus visit programming and we’re down in Austin with student-athletes from both Bridge Austin and Bridge Dallas. Our first stop, the University of Texas🤘and a guided tour through the campus. Then, we headed over to St. Edward’s University 🐐 to visit Coach Ashley’s old stomping ground and hear from the admissions office. It’s been a great day of learning and a lot of walking. Next campus visits, U of North Texas and Texas Women’s University! #bridgefamily #bridgefamilia #texasfight #gohilltoppers
