MISSION STATEMENT
To provide a one-of-a-kind lacrosse experience by creating a positive learning environment combined with high-level instruction fueled by a passion for the game and life itself.
Our National Footprint
Mad Dog Lacrosse is anchored by our original regions of California and New Jersey. Over the past few years, we have added several new regions, predominately in areas considered to be non-traditional:
Texas, Illinois, Utah, Tennessee, North Carolina, Idaho, Arizona and Michigan. Each serves as a hub for high-level training, competition, and player development. These regions are home to our core regional teams, delivering year-round programming that reflects the culture, standards, and mission of the national brand. From the West Coast to the East and through the South, we continue to expand our presence with additional locations in Illinois and beyond, building a connected and competitive lacrosse community across the country. Below, explore our regional programs in detail.
Our Story: Past, Present & Future
Mad Dog Lacrosse was founded with a simple mission: to elevate the standard of club lacrosse by combining elite coaching with a strong emphasis on character, culture, and development. What began as a regional effort has grown into a nationally recognized program, serving athletes across the country and helping hundreds of players achieve their goals both on and off the field.
2006: Our Origins
Mad Dog Lacrosse was founded in 2006 as a summer day camp in Sea Girt NJ by brothers Tommy and Bill Duerr as a way of sharing their passion for the game to the next generation of players. For four years, Mad Dog NJ Camps became a staple at the NJ Shore with Tommy and Bill tapping into relationships built from their collegiate playing days to attract the very best lacrosse minds to coach Mad Dog Camp Players
2010: Mad Dog Expansion
After graduating from Johns Hopkins, Tommy took over in 2010 so that Bill could assume the assistant coach position at Stevens Institute of Technology. Under Tommy’s leadership, Mad Dog expanded to travel club teams from coast to coast and has continued its commitment for player development to fuel the passion of the next generations of players. That commitment has led to significant expansion of Mad Dog Lacrosse, offering programs throughout California and travel teams, camps, clinics, leagues, and box training for both boys and girls.
Innovation & Development: Reimagining Club Lacrosse.
We continue to redefine the club lacrosse experience for our players and families. Our unique system that provides select team programs at the regional, elite, and national levels, along with exclusive showcases, self-empowerment and leadership modules, and personal recruiting support demonstrate our commitment developing all aspects of the student-athlete.
