StringKing has built a trusted reputation in the lacrosse community as they provide high-quality products, a fantastic team sales program, and exceptional customer service. We look forward to working with StringKing to grow the game, and our relationship, for many years to come.”
StringKing Sales Director Matt Schuler added, “Our ongoing partnership with the IWLCA is one of the most rewarding collaborations we have within the women’s lacrosse community. Each year, we look forward to engaging with the passionate coaches and leaders who are shaping the future of the sport. This convention has been instrumental in helping us refine and advance our products through the invaluable feedback we receive. In 2025, we’re excited to deepen our connection with the IWLCA and the outstanding collegiate programs we serve, as we continue to push the boundaries of performance and innovation in women’s lacrosse. I’m particularly excited for coaches to see and experience our redesigned line of heads, paired with our Tech Trad pocket—crafted with input from the very coaches attending this event.”
This will be year four of StringKing’s role as presenting sponsor and each year has proven to show both growth in attendance and growth in demand. The IWLCA Convention annually welcomes more than 750 coaches, exhibitors, and guests to partake in business meetings, clinics, professional development, networking sessions and the annual IWLCA Honors Dinner and Hall of Fame Induction. The Convention is the largest gathering of collegiate women’s lacrosse in the country and showcases an impressive lineup of exhibitors aimed at helping collegiate programs.
"Being the presenting sponsor for the IWLCA convention for the fourth year in a row is such an honor for StringKing,” said StringKing Account Manager Katy Sharretts. “As the women’s lacrosse account manager, I’ve seen just how dedicated these coaches are to shaping the sport, and supporting their vision is something we’re incredibly proud of. The convention is our chance each year to gather with everyone in the women's lacrosse community – it’s truly a highlight, and we can’t wait to catch up in person!"
