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.

Quote –

I’m excited to continue serving as Youth Director for the Shore Program and coaching our 2034/2035 and 2028 teams. This role gives me the incredible opportunity to work closely with many of our Shore players throughout the year. As both an educator and a coach, my passion lies in empowering and developing students and athletes to become the best versions of themselves.

Mad Dog’s strong commitment to player development fosters dedication, resilience, and a strong work ethic—qualities that transcend athletics and positively shape our players’ lives. The sense of community among coaches, players, and parents truly makes this program feel like a family.

I’m grateful to be part of this supportive environment, where I can make a meaningful impact and continue to grow as a coach.
