This volcanic butte at the end of Mill Avenue has many names; the original inhabitant Hohokam Indians regard it as ʼOidbaḍ Doʼag, the city of Tempe as 'Hayden Butte' after the city's founder, and ASU students affectionately know it as 'A Mountain'. Regardless of the nomenclature, everyone can agree that the butte provides a nice hike with some beautiful views of Tempe and its environs once you reach the top. In addition to some great exercise, on the way you will see ancient petroglyphs from the aforementioned Hohokam, native wildlife and the massive letter 'A', which celebrates the nearby university.
We are committed to providing a network of support that includes team building, community service, and financial assistance, while fielding competitive lacrosse teams that honor the game by demonstrating the values of sportsmanship and fair play. Our primary goal is to grow the game of lacrosse for anyone within our boundaries interested in participating and learning to play lacrosse. Our coaches emphasize a development-focused and family-oriented program culture. We focus on building strong relationships between players, coaches, and parents through various events and activities. These include mentor nights, potlucks, parent gatherings, team-builders, and annual events like Senior Night and an Annual Alumni Game. The program encourages participation by providing loaner equipment, offering free clinics, and guiding newcomers through the process.
