The Shoreline LFP Lacrosse program, a.k.a Sholax, has ebbed and flowed throughout the community since it was founded in 2012 as a boys youth and high school program.
However, after a solid run that included a 2016 home playoff win, it folded in 2017. It was resurrected in 2019, and was the only recreational sport in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park that continued in-person instruction throughout the pandemic - through strict adherence to recommended guidelines and protocols.
Sholax is different. It is an independent, non-profit, K-12 girls and boys club program that is not affiliated with the Shoreline school district. While they compete at the Varsity and JV level for boys, and Varsity for girls, they represent Shoreline as a unified front with players from both Shorecrest and Shorewood High Schools.

The boys Varsity team enters their thirteenth season in 2026, and are playoff eligible for the first time since 2021. They are led by:

Lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America with its origins with the indigenous people of North America as early as the 12th century. It is known as the “Creator’s Game,” “The Medicine Game,” “The Little Brother of War,” and “The Fastest Game on Two Feet.”
It is the national sport of Canada, and is set for its return to the Olympics in 2028 in Los Angeles after a 120 year hiatus.
