Afterhours Lacrosse Testimonials

"Your program completely transformed my child as a box player. He was looking to quit box until he started with your program and you showed him how to be force to reckoned with. If you start an 18+ format we would be interested."

"This is our son’s second year with Afterhours Lacrosse and we couldn’t be happier with the growth and development he has achieved throughout our time playing lacrosse. The coaches truly care about each and every athlete and are committed to developing them to their highest potential. The community is also amazing. Having players from different organizations come together so seamlessly, developing lasting friendships has been a pleasure to see. We look forward to continuing our child’s journey with Afterhours Lacrosse."

"The Afterhours program has taught my son so much more than lacrosse. Lacrosse is his favourite sport to play, and this program has given him a safe place to learn and grow. Each and every coach has had a huge impact on his development and confidence—both on the field and in everyday life. As a parent, I can never fully express how thankful I am for the privilege of having such amazing coaches guiding my son. At every practice and every game, the coaches show their love for the sport through both teaching and genuine care. We see how deeply they care about every child out there, how they push them to be the best versions of themselves, while still giving them the space to make mistakes, learn, and grow. Watching the coaches celebrate our children’s achievements is incredibly special. Afterhours is more than just a place to play lacrosse—it’s a true sense of belonging and community. We are very proud to be a part of the Dark Empire."

• Shasta Taylor

• Carolyn Criscitiello 

"The Afterhours Lacrosse program is the best lacrosse program we've encountered so far. We can not say enough about the coaches. Our son learned more from these coaches than any others.  The coaches interact well with the players and not only teach them but show them what to do. The hybrid program is great for the team because the players get to know eachother during field and develop a good relationship before box starts. Our son became so much more passionate about the game as a reflection of the coaches and this program!"
