Hello,
My name is Murle Greer. I am the program director and owner of West Side Lacrosse LLC. West Side Lacrosse is a family owned and operated travel lacrosse program that competes in large tournaments in the summer, fall and winter throughout the Midwest. We currently have 10 boys teams this summer ranging from U-10 to College Prep. We also offer girls lacrosse and will be fielding 3 teams from U-12 to High School. Our players are from all over West Michigan including: Holland, Zeeland, Grand Haven, Grandville, Spring Lake, Hudsonville, Jenison, Byron Center, Muskegon and Grand Rapids covering over a dozen different school districts.
The club is entering its 18th year and has seen tremendous growth. Due to the success of our teams and the growth of the game we have expanded our enrollment and our travel. We have been very successful in terms of wins and tournaments won, but our primary objective is to have fun. Our next priority is to coach and play the game with Class and Respect. We strongly believe in the lessons the game has to teach us as individuals and about being part of a team. Our greatest achievement has been bringing players together and creating friendships between players and parents who otherwise would only have been competitors. We feel that the wins and losses will be forgotten (mostly), but the friendships and shared experiences will last much longer and settle much deeper. With that said, we have also been successful on the field winning over 40 tournament Championships in the past 7 years. Many of our players go on to play College lacrosse and some have even won National Championships. We are proud of all our players; but my greatest reward is when they become coaches. We have been fortunate that so many of our players have returned to the game to give back to their sport and community.
West Side is a pay to play program. Our dues vary by level, but we’ve had to increase dues every year since we began. This is caused by increase in tournament fees, added practice times, participation in more tournaments and the need for quality and dependable coaching. West Side is still among the least expensive travel programs in the state. We feel we offer as much, if not more than most other programs.
West Side Lacrosse is looking for local companies to help provide scholarship opportunities through sponsorships for players and families who may not be able to afford the cost. Lacrosse is an inclusive game and money should never be the reason an athlete doesn’t play. This is what your involvement and investment would yield for your company.

West Side is the largest, regional travel lacrosse program in Michigan with 300 players in the program. That does not include the family and friends that travel and attend our games. That’s easily over 600 people who visit our website weekly in the summer. West Side also offers Fall & Winter travel teams, indoor leagues and camps and clinics so our website has constant year-round traffic. We feel this is a great opportunity to support a local athletic program that believes in its message of Class & Respect, while also promoting local businesses along the Lakeshore. Thank you for your time and consideration. Please feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions or concerns.
If you would like to sponsor West Side for 2023/2024, please contact Murle Greer to confirm.
