About us


We are a non-profit organization that strives to develop each athlete to be the best lacrosse player they can be, the best teammate they can be, and the best leader on & off the field they can be. We honor the game, and we are thankful to compete every day. We attack each session with enthusiasm unknown to mankind while controlling the controllable and staying neutral.



WHAT SETS OUR PROGRAM APART

Our program isn’t just about playing lacrosse, it’s about building a community where every player feels valued, supported, and challenged to be their best.


  • Experienced, Passionate Coaches: Our coaching staff brings years of playing and coaching experience at all levels. More importantly, they care deeply about mentoring athletes, fostering confidence, and teaching the game’s fundamentals and strategies.
  • Focus on Character & Leadership: We emphasize more than just athletic ability. Our program cultivates teamwork, leadership, discipline, and sportsmanship, qualities that help players on and off the field.
  • Small Group & Private Training Options: We offer flexible training options, including small groups and private lessons, allowing for focused skill-building and personalized feedback that you won’t find in typical team practices.
  • Personalized Development: We recognize that every athlete is unique. That’s why our Winter Training offers tailored coaching focused on each player’s individual strengths, goals, and areas for improvement, ensuring they develop the skills that matter most.
  • Commitment to Long-Term Growth: We’re not just about one season; we aim to build lifelong skills and a love for lacrosse. Our year-round training options keep players engaged, improving steadily with expert guidance.
  • Strong Community & Player Connections: We work hard to create meaningful relationships with our players and their families. This support network motivates athletes to push harder, feel confident, and enjoy their lacrosse journey.


Above all, we’re here to help your athlete reach their full potential—while keeping the experience engaging, supportive, and, of course, fun.
