Welcome to CitySideLax

The premier lacrosse organization in the Pacific Northwest
CitySideLax offers camps, clinics, lessons and teams carefully designed to meet the development needs of all our players. No matter what time of year or what skill level, we are here to help you elevate your game to the next level.
We created CitySideLax to be an 'athletic classroom' where young athletes could immerse themselves in all aspects of the game, as well as the underlying principles that apply to life as well as lacrosse.  Just like any academic classroom, we put a lot of thought and planning into the curriculum we offer.  We strive to give every player the right challenge and the right inspiration they need to move to the next level.

Drew Snider & Chris O'Dougherty, ​Co-Founders

CitySide Coaches

Committed to passing along our love for the game
Coaches make or break a player's experience, period.  And CitySide coaches are a cut above any other lacrosse program in the Pacific Northwest.  Their experience sets them apart, and their love for teaching the game brings them all together.
I had so many wonderful coaches help me achieve my goals as a player. I never could have done it without them.  Now it is my privilege to pass the stick and help the next generations of players achieve their goals.  And frankly, I'm finding that even more rewarding.

The CitySide Difference

Creating life-long learners through the athletic classroom
Development is at the heart of everything we do at CitySideLax.  Through our focus on F.U.N. we help our players grow from beginners to elites, while our core values of P.I.C.A. prepare them to excel both on and off the field.
