Legends of the Lawn
A mini-league series with a refreshing twist brings the traditional game of volleyball a unique approach.
The grass fields, though a different challenge compared to indoor courts have added an element of unpredictability and excitement to the games.
Team LCF has partnered with the USTA to bring the first tennis development program to the VUFSD community. Join us every Sunday morning, this Fall, for our tennis clinic series for children ages 4 - 13 .

Playground Hoops:
Where Legends are Born
The difference between a good player and a legend, is the mastery of the game, outside of the gymnasium. The grit of the asphalt is what creates legends. Skills and drills give you the proper technique. This series focuses on the skills players have developed and couples them with gut instincts so that they can learn to execute decisions based on the moment...and earn the title

Fighting the Good Fight
The LaVerne Clark Foundation was created in memory of LaVerne Clark, a 37-year volunteer in the VUFSD. She was one of one. She always put children first, and she believed without a doubt that Valhalla was the best district. The foundation is dedicated to continuing the good fight. And we vow to remain centered in supporting all children in the VUFSD, and beyond. We need your support in making that happen. We are appreciative of any support you may be able to offer, including volunteering, donating, or spreading the word. We Thank You For Fighting the Good Fight Alongside Us.

Team LCF believes there should be no barrier to any child joining any of our programs. Team LCF offers reduced/free program admissions to families that are in need. Please email team4lcf@gmail.com, for scholarship requests and criteria.
Starting anything from scratch, takes time, patience, and a lot of sweat equity. Since our inauguration celebration in November 2022, our team has invested all 3. We are mighty, but we are strong. And we will continue to learn, grow, and laugh through the many triumphs and tribulations that we go through

On and Off the Court
Development x Fun x Love of the Game
We pride ourselves on partnering with coaches that coach the best of the best. We also focus on fostering a connection between former graduates and current students. We truly believe that magic happens when there are coaches, alumni, and children that truly love the game, and enjoy the time they spend honing in on their skills. Our goal is to ensure that we support whole child development, on and off the court.

The Road To Now
Last year we collected over 100 pounds of clothes for older children and teens. Can we make it 200 pounds this year? The community showed up and showed out last year. Let's see if we can double it up.
