OUR ROOTS. OUR PURPOSE.

Our goal at Olathe Lacrosse is to create an organization and culture where our Olathe-area youth can develop a passion for the sport of lacrosse and spread the love of the game. We take pride in our commitment to player development and relationship building between our parents, players, and coaches.

Olathe Youth Lacrosse, previously known as the “Olathe Crush,” was founded by Rob McCarthy and later changed its name to the “Olathe Jokers” after Rob’s late brother John “Mac” McCarthy, who lost his battle with leukemia on July 25, 2012.

John, a former All-American and two-time New York lacrosse state champion, founded the original Jokers Lacrosse Club in central Florida. He was named US Lacrosse “Man of the Year for Florida” in 2011 after growing the club to more than 200 youth players and coaches.

John truly loved lacrosse and touched the lives of so many young players and coaches. We hope his spirit and passion for the sport live on throughout our organization for years to come.
