​

Summer programs starting in June.  Clinics, wall ball, practices.  Come learn about the fastest growing team sport in the country.


Westside Wild is a non-profit lacrosse club focused on growing youth girls lacrosse in the Kansas City region.  It is open to girls grades 3-8.  We are one of the few non-profit girls lacrosse clubs that offer playing opportunities year round.  Our programs are suitable for girls that only want to play in the spring, girls that want to play multiple seasons or even for girls that have conflicts in the spring but are able to play in the summer or fall. 

While our programs are available to all, for the spring season we are particularly focused on driving participation from local Catholic schools, and public schools in the western and southwestern part of Kansas City.
