Why Sea Scoops?
Most youth programs start with drills and rules. At Sea Scoops, we start with joy. Founded by Penn State Division I lacrosse alum and two-time All-American Colleen O’Hara, Sea Scoops brings elite-level knowledge and a lifelong love of the game to the beach. Through small groups, playful instruction, and plenty of encouragement, little players learn the fundamentals while building confidence, coordination, teamwork, and friendships. It’s more than an introduction to lacrosse—it’s a place for kids to move, laugh, feel proud, and discover just how much fun the game can be.
● Our Mission & Philosophy
Our Principles
●
JOY OVER PRESSURE
A child’s first experience with lacrosse should feel exciting, positive, and fun. We create an encouraging environment where little players can laugh, move, and fall in love with the game.
●
FUNDAMENTALS MADE FUN
We introduce the basics of scooping, cradling, catching, and movement through imaginative games and age-appropriate activities designed especially for young athletes.
●
CONFIDENCE IN EVERY CHILD
We celebrate effort, courage, and every small win. Children are encouraged to try new things, make mistakes, and discover what they can do—with plenty of support along the way.
●
COMMUNITY AT THE CORE
Lacrosse is about more than learning skills. We teach kindness, teamwork, and sportsmanship while helping little players build friendships and feel like they belong.
● Our Story
Meet Colleen
Long before I called the beach home, lacrosse helped shape who I am. I played Division I lacrosse at Penn State, where I became a two-time All-American and learned firsthand the power of great coaching, strong fundamentals, teamwork, and believing in yourself.
Now, I’m bringing that experience and love of the game to the shore through Sea Scoops. As a mom, I know a child’s first experience with sports should feel encouraging, exciting, and fun. My goal is to give our littlest players a joyful introduction to lacrosse while helping them build confidence, make friends, and discover what they’re capable of—one scoop at a time.
