Mission Statement

HONESTY

Honesty is showing strong moral principles and great character.  

EFFORT

Effort = Results.  Our coaching staff has a love and passion for this game, which means we always give our athletes our best effort and ask for the same in return.

ATTITUDE

Bringing a positive mental attitude can help give a competitive edge.  

TRUST

Trust is extremely important for two reasons.  First, we want our young athletes to trust their ability.  Being able to rely on your learned skills, without over thinking, is extremely important to player development.  Second, great teammates have the trust in each other to fulfill their role.  

We believe our athletes following these core values, paired with the encouragement from their families and our coaches, will ultimately lead to an unforgettable overall experience.

Bring the HEAT!

About Us

Adam Ahmad

Founder & Director

With over 25 years of playing and coaching experience, Coach Ahmad brings an ability to connect and teach the game of lacrosse to each individual athlete.  He believes in a positive approach to motivate athletes and instilling confidence in themselves to reach their full potential.

Coach Ahmad’s Philosophy comes from John Sullivan’s book Every Moment Matters: 

“There is nothing wrong with winning.  But when the outcomes completely overshadow the process, the culture, and the satisfaction of creating an environment that serves your athletes far beyond the sports field, you lose something.  Actually, you lose a lot, and so do your athletes.”
