WLD Circle Up is part of Women’s Lax Drills (WLD), founded by Kara Sanford, a lacrosse coach and educator passionate about growing the game through accessible, high-quality coaching resources. Kara built WLD from a single initiative into a global platform supporting coaches at every level, driven by her belief that better coaching leads to better athlete experiences. Through her leadership, WLD has expanded into a comprehensive ecosystem that blends education, community, and mentorship. Circle Up serves as the core hub of this vision—bringing together coaches worldwide to share ideas, learn collaboratively, and elevate the sport through collective growth and support.
