Sell your lacrosse club or program.
Lacrosse is a premium niche with above-average household income, strong club culture, and multi-season revenue that most other youth sports cannot match. Buyers pay a premium for well-run clubs because participants stay for years and families pay for winter, spring, and summer programming.
Why now
- Household income for lacrosse families is meaningfully higher than the youth sports average, and that supports pricing power.
- Winter box, travel teams, and camps have turned lacrosse from a spring sport into a year-round business.
- Consolidation is early. Well-run regional clubs are being acquired at strong multiples with little competition.
- Coach and staffing scarcity means incumbents are protected. New entrants cannot easily copy an established club.
What lifts your multiple
Multi-season programming
Winter box, spring club, summer travel, and camps stacked on the same participant base is the highest-value structure in the sport.
Club culture and retention
Multi-year family commitment shows up directly in the multiple. Retention rates above 80 percent are worth a full turn.
Geographic concentration
A club that dominates a metro area has real pricing power. Buyers value that moat.
Tournament and travel revenue
Travel and tournament programming diversifies revenue and attracts higher-spend families.
What suppresses it
One-season revenue base
Spring-only clubs trade at the low end. Extending into box or summer meaningfully lifts value.
Coach dependency
If two head coaches carry the entire program, that concentration is a diligence issue.
Equipment and field cost drag
Higher operating costs than flag or soccer compress margin. Efficient operations become a differentiator.

Questions we hear most
How are lacrosse clubs valued?
Most lacrosse operators trade between 2.4 and 4.0 times seller's discretionary earnings. Clubs that run multi-season programming, own or control facilities, and have a real coaching bench trade at the top of the range.
Do you buy boys and girls clubs?
Yes. We have no preference and consider the full club as one asset. Balanced programs often trade at a modest premium because they reduce concentration risk.
What about our tournaments?
Tournament brands are among the most valuable assets in the sport. We structure deals to preserve the tournament as its own line of business and grow it post-close.
Will my head coaches lose autonomy?
Coaching decisions stay with coaches. We invest in operational infrastructure so coaches can spend less time on registration, scheduling, and communication and more time on the field.
How do you value a nonprofit club?
The valuation logic is the same. The transaction structure is different and we walk boards through what a mission-preserving deal looks like in practice.
