WELCOME TO THE SCOOPS EXPERIENCE
It All Started with a Rainbow... and a Meltdown.
In 2017, our founder, Coach Bels, had a classic "Dad Fail." He wanted his 5-year-old son, Archer, to love lacrosse. Archer? Not so much. The harder Coach Bels pushed drills, the more Archer pushed back.
The Epiphany: High-school-style line drills are like eating broccoli. Kids don’t want broccoli; they want dessert.
The Solution: Coach Bels ditched the drills, ordered a dozen rainbow cones, and turned the backyard into a game. No more "practice"—just points, prizes, and play. When Archer asked, "Can we do it again? I think I can do better," Scoops Lacrosse was born.
"I went from chasing salaries to chasing kids with noodles, and I’ve never felt more fulfilled. Every class is a chance to show kids how awesome they truly are." —Coach Bels

The "Scoops Experience": Why We Play Different
We realized that youth sports were becoming too serious, too expensive, and way too stressful. 70% of kids quit organized sports by age 13. We’re here to change that stat, one scoop at a time.
