Westlake Girls Lacrosse (WGL) doesn’t just strive to provide a preparatory lacrosse experience for girls in Austin, Texas.  We go beyond on-field play by offering a broader lacrosse education in a fun and safe environment.  Our team leaders foster player development and growth while emphasizing the importance of teamwork and friendship, on the field and off.

Girls that participate in WGL programs are given the tools to take on leadership roles and learn work ethic that will benefit them in all of their future pursuits.

The History of WGL

The Westlake Girls Lacrosse program was established in 2001 to teach girls the game of lacrosse, but the program has grown to encompass much more. The life skills that our players learn and the support that they receive helps set them up for success outside of sports.

We are passionate about lacrosse and eager to introduce girls to the fastest-growing sport in the U.S. What used to be an “East Coast” sport is now finding huge participation levels in the South and West. Over 117 colleges and universities now have a Division I Women’s Lacrosse program.

Westlake Girls Lacrosse has all the credentials to help players reach Division I play. We are a:

• Member of USA Lacrosse, the national governing body of lacrosse in the United States.
• Texas Girls High School Lacrosse League (TGHSLL) Division I program.
• Varsity club girls lacrosse team for Westlake High School.
• Part of the Capital Area Youth Lacrosse League (CAPLAX).

At WGL, we intend to grow in conjunction with the increasing nationwide interest. Each year between 30 and 50 girls are introduced to the game through our youth programs that span from kindergarten through 12th grade. Today, Westlake Girls Lacrosse has about 140 active players.

WGL is proud to be a privately funded, non-profit organization that operates through donations from the community.
