Our Story:  Lax4All started with founders Ella and Coco Rigoli and Caroline Klauder, all lacrosse players with an interest in expanding access to the sport for those with adaptative needs.  As they moved away for college, these athletes passed the baton to trusted lacrosse players who would carry on the tradition they started.  Wyatt Douglass, Will Klauder and Christian Wright now serve as Lax4All co-presidents.  

 

Wyatt Douglas

Wyatt is a sophomore at St. John's College High School and plays midfield on their Varsity team.  Wyatt is also a midfielder and attackman for Madlax Capital lacrosse club and is part of their National Team, competing around the country at the highest levels of youth lacrosse. Wyatt says, "I play lacrosse because I love being able to meet new people and play on a team that I treat as family."

Why Wyatt supports adaptive lacrosse: "I want to teach kids with adaptative needs how to play lacrosse because I want to express my love for the game with kids who may not have the opportunity to experience it through club or school programs.”

 

Will Klauder

Will is a sophomore at St. John's College High School and is an LSM for their Varsity team.  He also plays LSM for Madlax Capital lacrosse club and competes as part of their National Team.  Will says, "I play lacrosse because it is a team sport where everyone has to work together to win.  It gives you a chance to meet people all over the country and gives you a brotherhood."

 

Why Will supports adaptive lacrosse: "I would like to help kids with adaptive needs because this sport is for everyone, and a disability should not limit one's access to this great game."

Why Christian supports adaptive lacrosse: "I want to support the adaptive sport community because nothing is better than playing lacrosse! It's also a great opportunity for everyone who is interested in the sport to play and have fun together."
