Boys · High school · B team
AthleteVerified experience"I also play basketball, and balancing both got really hard by the third tournament weekend. The coaches were understanding, but I am not sure I can do both next year."
Boys · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"He needed touches to rebuild confidence, but minutes were matchup-driven with little feedback, and the B team did not get much coaching attention. A more developmental program elsewhere fit him better."
Boys · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"Some assistant coaches were strong teachers; others mostly yelled. On the B team the head staff was not around much, and our son stopped asking questions. We found a program that invests more evenly."
Boys · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"Tournament rotation got tight in bracket play, but practice reps were plentiful and the coaches gave him concrete things to work on. A solid developmental year."
Boys · High school · B team
AthleteVerified experience"I liked my teammates and the games were competitive. I wished we got more attention from the head staff, but I still got better and had fun with my team."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"He got stronger and faster, but by midsummer the joy was gone. Nothing the coaches did wrong — the intensity just was not what he wanted right now. We are taking a season to reset with school ball."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"Conditioning and intensity were high and he got noticeably fitter. He loved the competition, but the year-round time commitment is a real question for us — we are weighing whether we can give the A team what it expects again next year."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"We appreciated that they did not build the team around one or two stars. Everyone had a role and was expected to work. Our son learned that effort earned trust, on and off the field."
Boys · High school · A team
AthleteVerified experience"Everything moved fast and mistakes got corrected right away. It could feel blunt, but I learned more in one season than the two before it. I knew my coaches believed I could handle it."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"High expectations, but the staff answered our questions quickly and our son always knew what to work on next. Communication was a big reason we would do it again."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"Real reps against strong competition, and the staff communicated clearly. We planned around the travel upfront so it never blindsided us. Worth it for where he is now."
Boys · High school · A team
AthleteVerified experience"Coaches held us accountable — for effort and for how we treated refs and each other. I learned to keep my composure when games got chippy, and I am proud of how our team carried itself."
Boys · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"The A program is clearly where the club puts its energy, and it shows — excellent coaching, real skill development, and high standards. Our son got noticeably better and learned to compete the right way."
Girls · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"Wonderful coaches and a great culture, but we were looking for more showcase exposure now. This program intentionally keeps the recruiting focus light at this level, so it was not the right match for our specific goal."
Girls · High school · B team
AthleteVerified experience"We worked on fundamentals constantly — footwork, IQ, reading the field. It was not flashy, but I got way better and my coaches noticed every bit of effort I put in."
Girls · High school · B team
AthleteVerified experience"My coaches taught us a lot about being good teammates and competing the right way. Early on game time was pretty even, and later it was more earned, which felt fair for our age."
Girls · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"What we will remember is that the coach knew our daughter — her nerves, her strengths, what made her tick. She was not a roster number. That kind of care is rare on a B team."
Girls · High school · B team
AthleteVerified experience"I made the B team and was disappointed at first, but my coaches told me exactly what to work on. By the end of the year I was getting looks for A. They actually wanted me to get better."
Girls · High school · B team
ParentVerified experience"The B team is not an afterthought here. The coaches are just as invested, and they were honest that the goal is to develop girls toward the A team. Our daughter improved fast and felt supported the whole way."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"We loved the coaching and the culture. The only question mark is the spring travel load against her other commitments — we are deciding whether we can realistically do it again next year."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"Our daughter’s stick skills and field awareness jumped this year. The coaches are demanding, but they explain the why, so she understood the game better instead of just running more drills."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"Coaches talked as much about effort and respect as about lacrosse. Our daughter learned to handle a bad call and a bad game without falling apart — worth more to us than any trophy."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"She also plays soccer, and the staff was great about it — they value multi-sport kids. They just asked us to communicate early and to show up fully when she was there."
Girls · High school · A team
AthleteVerified experience"I came in not knowing anyone and left with my closest friends. Practices were hard, but I looked forward to them because of my teammates and coaches."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"Minutes were earned, especially in bracket play, and they told her exactly what would earn more. We did not always love the answer, but we always knew the reasoning."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"By this age the staff was genuinely helpful with recruiting — honest about where she stood and what to work on. It never felt like hype, which we appreciated."
Girls · High school · A team
AthleteVerified experience"My coaches pushed me hard, but they also taught us how to carry ourselves — win or lose, we shook hands and meant it. I became a better teammate, not just a better player."
Girls · High school · A team
ParentVerified experience"What stood out was how much the coaches cared about our daughter as a person, not just a player. Practices were demanding, but every drill had a teaching point and she came home a smarter player."
