True Lacrosse is excited to announce the acquisition of Blak Widow Select Lacrosse, a premier lacrosse program with a rich tradition of excellence in player development throughout Berks, Lehigh, Lancaster, Cumberland Counties, and surrounding areas. Already deeply rooted in the state, this move strengthens True Lacrosse’s position as a leading force in Pennsylvania’s lacrosse community and marks a bold new chapter in expanding access to elite training and competition.
Founded on the principles of high-level instruction, character development, and year-round commitment, Blak Widow has spent the past decade building a program that emphasizes both individual growth and team success. Their combination of field and box lacrosse instruction, elite positional training through Torque Lacrosse Academy, and a seasoned coaching staff has made them one of the most respected programs in the region.
“This partnership represents the best of both worlds,” said Peter Burns, Territory Vice President at True Lacrosse. “Blak Widow’s local legacy, elite instruction, and deep community ties align perfectly with True Lacrosse’s mission. Together, we’ll continue to elevate opportunities for athletes across the region.”
