3STEP Sports Expands 3d Lacrosse
Atlanta, GA – May 9, 2025 — 3d Georgia, a top-tier boys’ lacrosse club in the state of Georgia and part of the nationally recognized 3d Lacrosse network, is proud to announce the launch of a new girls’ lacrosse program for the fall of 2025. This expansion comes through the acquisition of Southern Zone (“SoZo”) Lacrosse, an elite girls club based in Atlanta and one of the region’s most respected player development programs.
The move combines 3d Georgia’s elite training model and national network with Southern Zone’s established foundation and success in girls’ lacrosse in Georgia. The result is a dynamic new opportunity for female athletes in Georgia and the Southeast to receive next-level coaching, compete at the highest levels, and be part of a nationally connected lacrosse experience.
“We’re thrilled to officially bring the 3d Lacrosse training, methodology, and national exposure to girls lacrosse in Georgia,” said James Leary, Director of 3d Georgia. “By incorporating Southern Zone, we’re combining strengths to create a truly unmatched developmental pathway for young women in the sport.”
“For 10 years, SoZo has provided the Atlanta girls lacrosse market with high level coaching and a competitive experience, while respecting the person behind the player,” said Clare Boothe, owner of Southern Zone Lacrosse. “Our decision to join 3d Lacrosse was fueled by a desire to offer our families ’more’– more resources, more support, and more training opportunities. We’ve had an unofficial partnership with 3d Georgia for many years—this makes it official. I’m truly excited for this next chapter for our Southern Zone players!”
“We are excited to see one of our premier club brands, 3d Lacrosse, continue to grow its offering in girls’ lacrosse at a time when the sport is experiencing incredible growth,” said Greg Waldbaum, President of 3STEP Sports. “We look forward to empowering the Southern Zone players with proven training methodologies and expanded programming as part of the 3d family.”
The newly formed 3d Georgia girls’ program will offer competitive club teams, seasonal training, clinics, camps, National team opportunities, and access to recruiting support and national events through 3d Lacrosse’s extensive platform.
