Our History
How It All Started
In 2005 Jared Daniels was in a biology class at Reagan High School when his teacher, Ms. Minard threw a lacrosse ball at him. Jared caught it and she asked him to talk with her after class. Since Jared played ice hockey in Denver prior to the family's move to SA, Jared was interested in learning more about lacrosse. Ms. Minard asked Jared to talk with his dad, Joel Daniels, and if he was interested, have Mr. Daniels give her a call about starting a team.
That weekend they met at Ms. Minard's home and began talking about starting Reagan Lacrosse. Ms. Minard and Jared continued to talk up the plan and pass out fliers that they created. Ms. Minard and Mr. Daniels organized the practices and solicited two recent college graduates to help in the coaching. Soon thereafter a parent by the name of Greg Brooks stepped up to help as well. Mr. Daniels was elected President of the board. After the first year of Reagan Lacrosse, they organized as a non-profit 501(c)(3).
Ms. Minard stayed active with the club, but never officially served as a team teacher-sponsor since Reagan Lacrosse was not recognized as a club team by Reagan High School. Ms. Minard retired from the club after her son graduated.
Reagan Lacrosse has continued to grow and expand to encompass Youth and Middle School programs with 1st-8th grade along with the high school level of 9th-12th grade. In 2016 the club added a High School Girls program and few years after that a girls youth program.
Our programs have accomplished many great things including winning district championships and sending teams to Texas State Finals.
Why Jersey #2 Is Retired
Randall Perkins played on the Reagan Lacrosse high school boys team. After graduation, Randall coached for the Smithson Valley lacrosse program. Sadly, Randall passed away due to a fatal accident.
Reagan Lacrosse chose to remember Randall by retiring his jersey #2. The high school boys team also commemorates Randall by having the "Best Dressed" award during the end-of-year banquet wherein the recipient receives a fun hat that is passed on to the next year's recipient that looks similar to one Randall wore.
