Our Story

Brad & KC Wheeler

 


Brad and KC moved to Fuquay-Varina, NC in 2000, ready to begin their family and continue their fun and amazing journey together.  Brad is originally from Corning, NY and met KC when his family moved to Peekskill, NY in the summer of 1987.  He literally "ran" into KC when he accidentally knocked her over in a game of 'Four-Mat' kickball in gym class on his second day at Peekskill Middle School.  They began dating his Junior year in High School and have been together and a part the lacrosse community and family ever since.  KC's focused has evolved from cheering for Brad from the sidelines in High school and College to being the biggest fan and supporter of their two boys (Logan and Drew) as they have inherited their parents love of the game.

The FvLax Goblins was founded in 2011 to bring lacrosse into their own community.  Previously youth lacrosse was only available in a couple of Wake County High Schools and communities.  They both wanted something for them and their kids, to grow and share with the friends in their schools.  The ultimate goal was to develop a youth program that could help feed into the local High School programs and provide opportunities to the great athletes that live in Southern Wake and Harnett counties. With tremendous support from their close friends and acquaintances and the Carolina Youth Lacrosse Association the FvLax Goblins were born.  A simple word of mouth campaign has provided an incredible group of kids and parents who have helped triple the number of participants in few short years.  In 2014 Fuquay Varina High School fielded its first ever VARSITY lacrosse team.

The best is yet to come as the focus will always remain on the kids.  Lacrosse is just a game.  It's roots are linked to the Iroquois Indians who played for the enjoyment and honor of the Creator.  It is America's first game.  There are limited opportunities for professional lacrosse and Division I Scholarships, however lacrosse is an enhancement to grow and develop young men, creating friendships and connections which are unparalleled by any other sport!! 

FvLax Goblins lacrosse is designed to provide an avenue for each player and family to take wherever they want to take it.  We are a gateway to the elite travel programs as well as provide a fun and educational atmosphere for the players and families who just want to enjoy the experience of youth sports and sportsmanship.
