Testimonials

The voices of our athletes and their biggest supporters.

South Coast Lacrosse has been a great experience for our daughters, ages 15 and 9. The coaches and the staff take a genuine, personalized interest in our girls development with respect to their lacrosse skill, athletic development, and character development. The Program Directors are organized and communicative which is important when planning out a full season of travel lacrosse. We have witnessed our girls become more confident individuals, both on and off field, through their experience with South Coast Lacrosse. We appreciate the written player evaluations that are shared with us at the end of each season to give feedback on areas of development for our girls. Lastly, South Coast has highly competitive teams pulling girls from all over the Greater Houston area, which elevates the level of play and provides for great out of state experiences.

Dan and Brady Peters

As a parent of two daughters in South Coast, it’s been an amazing journey for both of them. While South Coast maintains its warm, friendly community, it also provides players with a place to grow, compete, and excel at the highest level. The coaches are thoughtful, patient, and genuinely dedicated to each player’s development. I can’t wait to see my daughters continue growing into even stronger athletes and individuals with South Coast.

Testimonials

The voices of our athletes and their biggest supporters.

Our two daughters have truly found their lacrosse home with South Coast Lacrosse, and the impact has been tremendous. Our oldest has played on the club team for five years and our younger daughter following close behind. The growth we’ve seen—on the field and off—comes directly from the caliber of the coaching and the character of the players around her. The staff teaches the game the right way while building confidence, grit, and teamwork. Communication is clear, practices are purposeful, and the culture is supportive and competitive in the best way. As our daughter begins the recruiting process this fall, we feel fully supported and have complete confidence in the club’s guidance. We’re thrilled to be part of this community and couldn’t be happier with the experience our daughters are having.

I will forever be grateful for my experiences with South Coast Lacrosse. Growing up in the program as a player and now returning as a coach, I can truly say it is a special community that has left a lifelong impact on me. Playing for South Coast not only gave me some of my best friends, but also developed me as a player and helped me achieve my dream of competing at the Division I level at Vanderbilt. I would not be the player I am today without the coaching and recruiting guidance I received. I remain close with many of my coaches, especially Coach Beth, and still turn to them for advice both in lacrosse and in life. South Coast has always been more than a program—it has been a lifelong support system, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have played here.
