Lacrosse has changed the lives of every CitySideLax coach and staff member, and now our mission is to provide that same opportunity for the young men and women of the Pacific Northwest. The paramount goal is utilizing the athletic classroom for every one of our athletes to hone their lacrosse skills and become better players while harnessing their experiences to mature as individuals off the field. Through our camps, clinics, lessons and teams our players get the individual attention, inspiration and challenge they need to take full advantage of lacrosse's opportunities and life-lessons.
At CitySideLax, everything we do is rooted in our development philosophy (F.U.N.) and our core values (P.I.C.A.). F.U.N. and P.I.C.A. guide us every time we step on the field and stay with us whenever we step off it. We do not choose our family members based purely on skill or production on the field; instead we look at the overall person and how they can improve and positively represent the CitySideLax community. With that being said, creating a highly competitive and extremely skilled team is important to us.
We push our athletes to develop into the best players they can be by perfecting F.U.N.

We welcome diversity in our players in every sense of the word, and we make sure that expense doesn't prevent a player from developing their game. It is part of our core values at CitySideLax that every athlete should have an opportunity to play, and that cost should never prevent a player from becoming the best they can be in the game we all love. Because of this, we have a very robust, need-based, financial aid program called City Side Academy. Contact us at admin@citysidelax.com to learn more about City Side Academy, financial aid and how to apply.
