Parent Testimonials

Mad Dog LA helped our daughter grow the confidence and skill to play Lacrosse on a more competitive level!

Mad Dog LA Parent

Thanks Mad Dog Los Angeles and coaches for an incredible season. Seeing my daughter grow confidence and leadership skills on and off the field is directly related to her MDLA experience. The LA coaches have made a huge impact on her life and we are grateful for this experience.

Mad Dog LA Parent

We had an amazing experience with Mad Dog LA and West Elite. She learned so much from the coaches and loved her teammates. She thinks of Mad Dog as her family and can't wait for the new season. Thank you!
