Sachuest Lacrosse is a New England based lacrosse organization dedicated to growing the sport of Woman's Lacrosse at all levels. The Sachuest name rooted in Native American History, translates "at or near the Great Hill," and what is today an area off the Rhode Island Coast (Sachuest Point). Sachuest Lacrosse links a time when before the coming of Europeans, there was a lengthy war between the Narragansetts and the Wampanoags, emerging victorious and eventually subduing several other tribes were the Narragansetts, the largest of the Algonquin family. The warriors and squaws who inhabited New England and who had dominion over the islands of Narragansett Bay when the first white men arrived are this heritage to which we strive to link.

The modern game and its heritage are inextricably linked. Sachuest Lacrosse serves that heritage, while bringing into the game all the tenets of the present day athlete. Sportmanship, positive reinforcement, athleticism, and respect all meet on the field to combine with intensity, determination, competitiveness, and will, forming what is best know as "the spriit of the game." These characteristics and lessons learned between the lines are hopefully carried off the field and applied to other facets of everyday life.
