Our new chapter service area incorporates the cities of Lynchburg, Lexington, Roanoke, Salem, Rocky Mount, Blacksburg and Christiansburg, Martinsville, and Danville-South Boston - along with many counties contiguous to those cities.  The continued growth and expansion of the game into area high schools will be an area of focus for our chapter and this will be accomplished through access to US Lacrosse resources and aggressive fund-raising activities through which everyone can be involved!  Your donations to the SWVLA are tax-deductible. 

We hope to make THIS website the central place where ALL information about area lacrosse activities and teams can be posted and accessed.  We will rely on YOU to send us any news, information, events, etc that are happening in the area.  We will be diligent in posting the information and maintaining the site to be as informative as possible.
