ATLANTA -- Each year, MCLA teams across the country are creating legacies off the field by hosting "Lace Up With LAX" games and giving to children in need in their community.

We are encouraging your team to host a game this year. At the home game of your choice, fans, students and players are asked to bring in a new pair of children’s shoes.

Those shoes are then donated by your team to a children’s homeless shelter in your city.

To date, lacrosse teams across the country have donated over 10,000 pairs of shoes simply by collecting at a home game. Each season, the MCLA is well represented, but we want as many MCLA teams to participate as possible.

Head to their website at www.laceupwithlax.org to register.

It truly does not cost your team anything to host a game and helps players create legacies off the field.
