August 17, 2002: In the Fall of 2001, Christian Folk a teacher at Spring Street School in Friday Harbor, contacted the Washington Chapter of US Lacrosse inquiring about starting a new boys lacrosse team at his small private school of 80 students. The US Lacrosse chapter, eager to help, donated a dozen sticks and a goal, and provided training to help the team get started.

The Spring Street Dragons competed in 5 WA State JV games during the 2002 season with a limited squad of 12 dedicated players. The entire Spring Street School community got behind the program and are now very committed to seeing the program flourish and ultimately compete in the WA HS Varsity League. The community is also interested in starting a girls team for the upcoming season.

To further support the growth of the program, this past weekend, Matt Cone and Stephanie Cone, members of the board of WA Chapter of US Lacrosse conducted two-day clinics for boys and girls of the Spring Street teams. The clinics were well attended and publicized on the San Juan Island with coverage in the local newspaper.

Brendan Cowan, asst coach of the team organized the clinics and hosted the Cone's in what was a great weekend! Lacrosse is definitely here to stay on San Juan Island!
