Defenders of Troy - Summer / Fall 2023

Defenders of Troy (DOT), run by Lassiter Lacrosse Booster Club, is a program designed to promote the growth of lacrosse in the East Cobb area.  Our program aims to create a community of lacrosse families who are united by the common goal of growing together in the direction of excellence.  We will offer a comprehensive range of competitive teams, practices, and training opportunities for all involved through our network of experienced coaches and lacrosse alumni.  DOT will limit participation in competitive settings to a reasonably sized roster to ensure development.

The Registration "Defenders of Troy - Summer / Fall 2023" is not currently available.
