Fast Break, an initiative that started in 2005, is designed to infuse a fledgling lacrosse area with resources to launch the sport from the roots up through educating coaches, officials, players and administrators.

Fast Break targets an area which has a limited amount of lacrosse being played, but displays strong enthusiasm for the sport and a willingness to learn and work with US Lacrosse to grow the game responsibly. A Fast Break area should be ready to embrace US Lacrosse, membership within our organization and the resources which are associated with recognition as a US Lacrosse Chapter.

Local interest in becoming a US Lacrosse Chapter led the Fast Break Initiative committee to identify the first target area as the state of Louisiana. Events in New Orleans and Shreveport introduced lacrosse to nearly 400 adults and youths through demonstration games, player and coach clinic sessions, a vendor village and prize drawings. The growth of the game in western states made Nevada a logical choice in 2006 and 2007.
