Meet the Founder
Founder and Coach, LaKisha Carpenter Papoutsakis, launched Worcester United Lacrosse the summer of 2021 as a foundation for youth development through athletics. Her inspiration laid a steppingstone for youth in the city of Worcester to gain self-confidence, leadership and team building skills through the sport of Lacrosse. WUL is a partnership between the City of Worcester, United Way and a non-profit organization called 508 Forever. To date we have been blessed to serve over three hundred youth, sharing not only the game of Lacrosse but its heritage, values, and discipline.
