Founded in 2020, Able Lacrosse emerged from the vision of brothers Rowan and Christian Dias, inspired by their younger sister Elle, to provide lacrosse access for individuals with rare disorders and developmental differences. It began as a heartfelt initiative by disability siblings to share their love of the sport with Elle and similarly-abled peers. The guidance of Elle's physical therapist, Dr. Erica Maiorano, along with other special educators and service providers, was pivotal in this endeavor. As the need for such inclusive opportunities became evident, the Dias brothers sought further support, connecting with Scarsdale Varsity Lacrosse Head Coach James Synowiez, who also has a loved one with additional needs. This collaboration sparked a movement to educate varsity volunteers about youth with differences, leading to the evolution of supported opportunities. In 2021, this initiative culminated in the establishment of Able lacrosse. 

in response to the expressed wishes of our community for a broader range of inclusive sports, able lacrosse underwent a transformation in november 2022, leading to our evolution as able athletics. our fundamental mission remains the same:  to foster a more inclusive and understanding future.
