The Caps were founded in January 2011 in response to the growing post-collegiate lacrosse talent in Austin, TX. Our mission is to promote the sport of lacrosse to any and all interested in playing it. The Capitals Lacrosse Club holds free clinics for local youth programs throughout the Austin, TX area in an effort to share the diversity of lacrosse knowledge and experience that comes from our diverse group of members. A majority of the players coach local youth and high school teams in the Austin area, as part of our efforts to give back to the local community.
With an average age of 25, the club is open to recent college grads who have moved to Austin, TX. Members of the Capitals Lacrosse Club come from various lacrosse backgrounds, including NCAA D1, D2, D3, and MCLA programs from across the country.
