Parent Testimonials

Incredibly positive environment during practice and tournaments. Clear, concise, and timely communication. Seemed like the coaching ratio was always 5:1 at practice. High energy, highly productive, well planned practices. Highly skilled players in all positions. Coaches did a great job putting the players in the right positions, and getting them to play team lacrosse. Great experience all around. Feel blessed this program came along when it did.

Stangs Austin Parent

Can't say enough good things about the training Stangs has provided. The practices have definitely breathed new life into his game- he loves the atmosphere the coaches provide, the fast-tempo/tons of reps, and most of all the thoughtful instruction. He looks forward to next season! 

Stangs Austin Parent

The coaching, communication, and team camaraderie was a step above from the first day our son walked onto the field. We were truly impressed with the culture of the program and values the coaches showed the kids. Roll Stangs!

Stangs Austin Parent

The Stangs organization focused on whole player development as part of a team. They focused on fundamentals and really got to know our son to help him develop his game and skills. The coaches and director were always available to talk and had great communication. They were honest, positive and encouraging and our son had a great experience.
