Building the Future of Morgantown Lacrosse: 2026 Season Launch! 🥍

Today, January 6th, we are officially kicking off our 2026 Season Fundraising Campaign. We choose this date each year to launch in memoriam of Josh Burleson—honoring a member of our lacrosse family by investing in the future of the game he loved.

Our goal this year is to ensure that Morgantown Youth Lacrosse remains the premier place for local athletes to grow, compete, and lead. To do that, we need your help to keep our sticks moving and our players safe.

Where does your donation go? Your support stays 100% local and directly impacts our players by funding:

🛡️ Advanced Safety Gear: Replacing aging helmets and chest protectors with the latest NOCSAE-certified equipment.

🎓 The Scholarship Fund: Breaking down financial barriers so that any child in Morgantown can play, regardless of their family's budget.

🏟️ Field & Facilities: Securing local facilities, referees & medical staff for our practices/home playdays.

🎒 Loaner Kits: Expanding our "Equipment Library" so new players can try the sport for free before committing to their own gear.

Support the 2026 Season here: https://givebutter.com/cLoJ4b

Every ground ball, every goal, and every life lesson learned on the field this spring starts with your support today.

📢 REGISTRATION UPDATE: Get ready! Information regarding 2026 Spring Program Registration will be released very soon. Keep an eye on this page for dates, divisions, and sign-up links!

GAME CHANGER! 🚨 A Huge Thank You to the Burleson Family!

Morgantown Youth Lacrosse is thrilled to announce a monumental step forward for our program. We are incredibly grateful for a very generous donation from the Burleson Family, which will directly impact our players this upcoming season.
Thanks to their support of the Josh Burleson Leagues & Little Scoopers, we are now able to outfit a large number of both boys and girls with essential program equipment! 🥍

What this means for you: We now have a robust equipment loaner program. Your player can borrow the necessary gear for the season and simply turn it back in at the end. This is a massive win for growing the sport in Morgantown and making lacrosse accessible to more families.

Check the Gear Guide: Please review the attached infographic to see the required checklist for field players and goalies. We have ensured all our new loaner gear meets the crucial safety standards highlighted in the guide (like the NOCSAE ND200 chest protection).

Don't let equipment costs stop you from joining the Morgantown lacrosse family. Let's play!

A Championship Legacy Continues: Meet Our New League Director, Zack Davis! 🥍🏆

​We are incredibly proud to announce that Zack Davis has stepped into the role of Director for The Josh Burleson Leagues!

Zack’s deep roots in Morgantown make him the perfect fit to lead our youth. A 2011 MHS and 2015 WVU grad, he has spent his life on our fields and in our rinks. Between playing for state champion lacrosse & hockey teams, and spending 20 years as a referee, Zack has a unique perspective on what makes Morgantown sports special.

Zack’s passion for lacrosse was forged at Morgantown High under Coach Thomas Moore, where he played alongside and for Josh Burleson. Josh, then a senior and later a coach for Zack, left a lasting mark on Zack as a leader who pushed his teammates & players to be better—someone who challenged you but was always the first to help you back up.

Zack is bringing that same "help you back up" spirit and a winning culture to our youth programs. Over the last three years, he has served as an assistant coach for the Morgantown Mohawks Boys Middle School team, helping lead them to an incredible 2025 season.

His mission is simple: to create a welcoming community where boys and girls in grades 2–5 can fall in love with lacrosse early, learn the right way, and carry on the legacy of sportsmanship that Josh Burleson embodied.

​Please join us in welcoming Zack Davis to this new role! We can’t wait to see the growth and energy he brings to our elementary programs!

💙 Captain. Champion. Coach. Friend. ❤️ More than a name on a jersey. He was the heart of our game. ❤️

Before the possibility of leagues for every age group, and before the trophies filled the cases, there was Josh Burleson.

Josh was a natural athlete and competitor. As a 4-year Varsity Defender and Long Stick Midfielder, he captained the inaugural 2008 West Virginia State Championship team. In the off-season he traded his stick for an MHS football helmet as the kicker and a trumpet in the Red & Blue Band, but the lacrosse field was always his home. He poured his soul into building the culture that made it possible to grow a game new to our state.

But accolades don’t tell you who a person is. Love does.

Josh loved this game, and he loved this town—all of it. He reached across rivalry lines, counting players from all over the state among his lifelong friends. In the off-season, you’d find him coaching boys and girls of all ages, Mohigans and Hawks, simply because he wanted to see kids fall in love with the sport the way he did.

He returned to MHS as a coach for four years, guiding teams to multiple state title games, but his legacy isn't in the wins. It’s in the people.

Every time a child picks up a ground ball in the Josh Burleson League, they are playing a game he helped build, in a community he helped unite.

Josh was a player's coach, a coach's player, and most importantly, he was our friend. We hope this league will be a living testament of what Josh wanted for everyone he met, growth and love.
