Coaching Philosophy - If you want to reap the rewards, you must be willing to put in the work. Our goal is to continue to grow the game of lacrosse in our area, and more specifically the Hatboro Horsham community. Lacrosse is the greatest game on earth as it combines so many other sports into one team activity. We welcome athletes of any and all sports, regardless of prior playing experience. You might not be an All American by the time you graduate from our program, but we guarantee you will leave as a better man. We believe in utilizing the game of lacrosse to teach life long fundamental principles that will lead to success. Lacrosse isn’t forever, but the values, principles and expectations we believe in are.

Coaching Philosophy - Do the little things right. All of them combined leads to victories. Play fast, and control the tempo. Never stop moving off-ball. Always be an option, and support your teammates during the flow of play. Be vocal and communicate. Continue to be a student of the game. Take in mental reps at practice, and continue to work when no one is watching. Prioritize your weaknesses to support your strengths.

Coaching Philosophy - Every team is only as good as their weakest player. So each person must lift up and push their fellow teammates to get better every drill, every rep, every game, everyday. It starts with the smallest aspects of lacrosse if we can’t do those we won’t win. So work hard in and out of practice and find time to improve individually outside of practice, so at practice we can grow as a team. If lacrosse isn’t your be all to end all that is ok, but come ready to work and play at 110% if not for yourself, but for your brothers you get on that field with everyday!
