Introducing the mad dog lacrosse box lacrosse program

The fast-paced, small-area environment demands quick decisions, elite stick skills, creativity, and toughness. Players get more touches, make more reads, and learn to thrive under pressure, which will greatly compliment our players on field play. Players will sharpen their hands, vision, and finishing ability while improving defensive footwork and communication. The tight spacing forces players to play faster and smarter, while the physicality builds confidence and resilience. The result? Smarter, faster, more skilled field players who carry those instincts, skills, and confidence into every aspect of the outdoor game.
