80 Lacrosse is a company built out of passion for the sport of lacrosse. Kacy Small, founder of 380 lacrosse, grew up with lacrosse in his blood. His father, who is a Ridley High Hall of Fame member, helped start Pottstown Lacrosse Association for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) in 1997 spawning Montgomery and Berks county's present day lacrosse programs. Programs such as B.O.L.T., PLAY Vipers, Amity A.C., Collegeville Cougars, and many more then went on to form the PAC-10 and Berks County High School divisions. While growing up Kacy's opportunities for lacrosse were limited due to the infantile stages of lacrosse in the area. Without spending a small fortune on overnight, out of state camps, a lacrosse player in this area had only a brick wall, and his own self drive to get better and little to no chance of being scouted by colleges. Kacy's self drive lead him to a 4 year N.C.L.L. lacrosse career at Kutztown University where Kacy was a two year captain and player coach. In his 4 years Kacy experienced back to back division championships, one final four appearance, and only 6 losses.
