Parent Testimonials

My son had a great experience this summer.  He learned so much in a short time.  He is excited about lacrosse and wants to continue with the sport. Thank you Coach Hughes and the entire Mad Dog OC staff!

Mad Dog OC Parent

This summer was amazing!  My sons (30 and 33) had a great time and received amazing coaching. Their teammates and coaches were very welcoming and supportive. Coach Nick Romig has made a positive impact and we will definitely continue to play MDOC!

Mad Dog OC Parent

The Dogs community is great. Everyone from coaches to players and parents seem to get along and work together to make for a great experience. The coaches take their time with the kids and help improve their teamwork and their skill as players.
