# BRAND DESCRIPTION #
####################
# SportStop.com is a family owned business. We have been selling sporting goods 
# online since 2001, and have always focused on value and selection. In the beginning 
# we offered equipment for a variety of different sports, then quickly focused down so 
# we could better serve our lacrosse players, parents and coaches. 
#
# Now that some of our own kids are playing lacrosse, we can relate even more to the 
# struggles keeping kids properly equipped and the day-to-day struggles with time 
# and schedules. We have built SportStop.com to be a quick, convenient, affordable, 
# and reliable partner for all your lacrosse needs.
#
# From our family to yours, we want to be your trusted source for all your lacrosse needs. 
# Whether you are a player, parent, or coach, we are here for you.
