MALAXA stands for Mountain Top Area Lacrosse Association. Mountain Top Lacrosse started in 2009 with boys lacrosse.  The original plan was to field both a U11 and U13 team, but there was so much interest and growth that we fielded 4 teams in the first year, a U9, U11, U13, and U15 teams.  In 2010 the Mountain Top area got a boost of interest when in just the 2nd year the local high school, Crestwood Comets, added a probational lacrosse team that competed as a club for the high school.  The growth has continued and in 2012 MALAXA added it's first girls team for 1st-4th graders.  

In 2013 the boys lacrosse team was added as an official sport, and Crestwood high school also recognized the first girls team that competes as a club team.  On the MALAXA side in 2013 we added teams for 3/4 grades, 5/6 grades, and 7/8 grades.  We had lots of interest from 1-3 grade girls, and the only limiting factor has been the availability of coaches.  

We look to continue to grow the sport of lacrosse in our immediate and surrounding areas.  For information on helping grow the sport of lacrosse in both Mountain Top and NEPA please send us an email.  If you could support the program either financially or volunteering your time as a coach we would also love to hear from you.
