Parent Testimonials

From the first day of tryouts throughout the season my son has had an amazing experience with the Mad Dog North Organization.  The Directors, coaches, athletes and families have been great.  They help develop skills,  build a team,  and create opportunities for all of the players.  I can’t say enough good things about the program as a whole.

Mad Dog North NJ Parent

Mad Dog has been a positive experience for our son and our family.  The opportunity to play competitively on not only the North team but also the East Elite and National level teams has been an extremely valuable opportunity for our son.  He has learned a ton from his coaches and looks forward to every moment on the field.
