We are an independent Middle School lacrosse program in Knoxville, Tennessee. The boys team was founded in 2021 by Coach and Program Director Rob Sanders. In 2022 an established local recreation league girls team changed affiliaton and this fall marks their debut season under the Irish Lacrosse Club banner. The girls team is coached by Clay Aalders, who has been at the helm of the program since 2016.
Irish Lacrosse Club of East TN is not affilliated with Knoxville Catholic High School or the Diocese of Knoxville. We are open to any Knox County (and surrounding communities) middle school boys and girls without a local school lacrosse program.
All participants are required to maintain an active USA Lacrosse Membership, which can be purchased online at the same time as you register.
This website is a work in progress, with much more to come. (Thanks USA Lacrosse!)
