Riot Lacrosse Club was created by parents with years of experience in youth and travel lacrosse who wanted to build a different kind of organization. Its stated mission combines high-level year-round play with teaching, fun, love of the game and brotherhood rather than treating club lacrosse as a purely transactional tournament product. Riot now operates both a New Jersey division based around Morris County and Riot North in Rockland County, New York, while maintaining the same program philosophy across both regions.
