Janet Frink

We live in Canada and our drive is 2 hours and if we didnt think this organization was GREAT we would not make the effort for our son to have this amazing experience.

Rick Gill

CitySide teaches discipline, accountability and leadership. They inspire! They teach the importance of hard work, commitment and unselfish play.

Jesica Rogers

Very well organized, great communication, and phenomenal coaching. Cityside exceeds our experiences with any other club sport around Seattle.

Jenell S.

Both of my sons spent seven years in the Cityside Lacrosse program, and it was an incredible experience. They also have multiple avenues to help your kids compete at a higher national level. My youngest ended up committing to play at Princeton.

Our story

We believe every young player deserves coaches who know their name, notice their effort and care about the person they’re becoming. We want CitySide to be a place where kids feel they belong and have the confidence to try something difficult.

At practice, we teach the fundamentals, explain why they matter and give feedback players can use on the next rep. We make room for questions, mistakes and another try. We also set clear expectations: come prepared, take responsibility and look out for your teammates. We hope the friendships players form and the habits they build stay with them well beyond lacrosse.

We started CitySide in 2013 with camps, clinics and leagues on the city side of Seattle. As our players grew, we added teams, recruiting guidance and more opportunities to compete. We’re grateful for the players, families and coaches who have shaped CitySide along the way. Thank you for trusting us to be part of your player’s journey.
