What Coyotes Lacrosse does

Coyotes Lacrosse Club is a volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) youth lacrosse organization founded in 2001 in Burlingame, California, by Steve and Lisa Alms. The club operates seasonal programming — a Spring competitive season (February through May) and a Fall Ball introductory/developmental program (September through October) — serving boys and girls across five age divisions: Pups (TK-K, ages 5-7), 8U, 10U, 12U, and 14U. Programs are open to all experience levels, including complete beginners, and accept players from both public and private schools across the mid-Peninsula (Burlingame, Hillsborough, San Mateo, Millbrae, Half Moon Bay, San Bruno, South San Francisco, Pacifica, Belmont, Foster City). The club fields 225+ players annually and competes in the West Bay Lacrosse League (WBLL) under US Lacrosse governance. It does not operate a proprietary technology platform; registration is handled via TeamSnap and merchandise via a SecondSlide storefront.\n\nThe club's revenue model is straightforward seasonal registration fees, tiered by age division and program. Spring fees range from $350 (Girls PUPS) to $795 (12U/14U Boys); Fall Ball fees range from $325 (Early Bird Pups) to $395 (8U-14U after September 1). Financial aid is available on request. The club documents a college alumni pipeline (Duke, Harvard, Navy, Cornell, Williams, Tufts, Amherst, Pomona, Davidson, Claremont Mudd Scripps, Colorado College, Bates, Allegheny, Colby, Denison, Villanova, High Point, Fairfield, University of Chicago) that functions as a brand-equity asset. Coaching is delivered by a mix of volunteer parents and more recently graduated college players.\n\nThe organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by President Rob Buccieri, with Vice President/Girls Director Shep Maher, Boys Director Brendan O'Brien, and a broader volunteer leadership team. The club was co-founded by Steve and Lisa Alms; Steve Alms — a Cornell 1971 NCAA champion and 2006 US Lacrosse Foundation Hall of Fame NorCal inductee — passed away in 2025, creating a leadership-transition inflection. Distribution is community-led via website, Facebook, Instagram, TeamSnap, WBLL town-based player assignment, and US Lacrosse national membership. The club is not a venture-backed or for-profit enterprise; there are no funding rounds, no parent company, and no disclosed financial statements.

Emerging players

• Eclipse Lacrosse Club: Youth and high school lacrosse club offering club teams, tournaments, and training. Comparable to Coyotes as a community-based youth lacrosse club with multi-age divisions and competitive league play.
• Team NorCal: Bay Area-based travel lacrosse program (mentioned as a Coyotes partner). Operates Middle and High School teams in Palo Alto and competes for the same older youth players that Coyotes develops in 12U/14U.
• ADVNC Lacrosse: Northern California travel lacrosse program and summer camp operator (referenced as a Coyotes partner). Comparable as a youth lacrosse training provider competing for player time and fees in the broader Bay Area market.
• NXT Lacrosse: Youth lacrosse club offering travel teams and training. Operates a similar youth lacrosse club model to Coyotes with comparable seasonal team play, though at a different regional footprint.
• Tenacity Project: Girls-focused East Bay lacrosse program (referenced as a Coyotes partner). Provides competitive high-school-level development specifically for Coyotes' girls alumni, making it a downstream competitor/partner for the same end of the youth pipeline.

Others

• West Bay Lacrosse League (WBLL): Town-based regional youth lacrosse league covering the mid-Peninsula. Coyotes is a member club; WBLL is the governing/distributing entity that channels players to Coyotes and other Bay Area clubs based on home address.

• Sling It! Lacrosse: Local lacrosse equipment retailer (Belmont, CA) that is a Coyotes partner. Adjacent to Coyotes' value chain as the recommended equipment supplier and ecosystem enabler for player families.

Broad incumbents

• 3d Lacrosse: National youth lacrosse events, training, and club network. Comparable to Coyotes as a multi-region youth lacrosse program operator, but at much larger scale and with paid professional coaching rather than a volunteer model.
