Lady Vikings Fall
The Central Florida Vikings, aka the Vikings Lacrosse team, is dedicated to growing lacrosse in East Orlando. Our mission is to teach young men and women various life skills through lacrosse. Over the past 20 years, the Central Florida Vikings coaching staff has trained some of the top players in the Orlando area. Many of these individuals went on to play lacrosse at the collegiate level and positively affect their communities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I purchase equipment?
There are several locations for you to get equipment for your player. It is recommended to go to Academy Sports or Dicks Sporting Goods to try on the equipment for correct sizing. There may also be used equipment at Play it Again Sports, but please confirm that the equipment still meets equipment standards for the current season.
After you determine correct sizing, you can shop around online or purchase an equipment package through our program.
There are also times throughout the year where we get bulk order discounts through various vendors. Please keep a lookout for these emails throughout the year.
How can I get involved?
We always need volunteers to help our program run smoothly. Here is a list of a few needs:
- Assistant Coach - No experience needed. We will train you to help run drills and practice plans. You will be required to take a background check and a few online courses.
- Team Parent - Help coordinate the end of year banquet, snacks for games, and help communicate with parents on the coaching staff's behalf.
