About.

Our team is a distinctive group of young men who are each hand-picked for their on-field talents and off-field display of character. Players are selected from across the state of Utah to showcase their abilities to NCAA, NAIA, and MCLA coaches at the highly competitive tournaments we attend. To be a member of Wasatch Lacrosse Club you must strive to play lacrosse at the highest level and always play selfless, with a team first mentality. You must also represent the community you live in and high school you attend with a sense of pride and responsibility.


Our mission is to provide a distinct advantage in College Recruiting to players on our club over other teams. We go the extra miles with filming our games, recording stats, clipping highlight films, emailing and calling college programs for you, and so on. Hard work, fun, and dedicated coaching are the foundation of Wasatch Lacrosse Club. Developing friendships between players and parents from various schools and communities are a key factor to the “Satch Lax” experience.

Testimonials.

  • Cliff Cole

    "Leadership starts at the top of any organization..."

    As a parent, I appreciate the fact that Wasatch Lacrosse Club lives by and truly demonstrates their Philosophy (Promote the sport of lacrosse at a high level of competition and promote our players), Mission (Have individuals who are better people than they are lacrosse players) and Goals (Team recognition, player recognition, prepare for collegiate experience). Danny, Ricky and Adam are committed to growing the game of lacrosse and their low key coaching style contributes to the cohesion among their teams and players. It is rare that you see a highly competitive team that is comprised of a group of highly skilled players that are unselfish and supportive of each other. The players selected to play on the Wasatch teams are outstanding individuals and players. Wasatch does an excellent job of recognizing and promoting their players and team on social media and other outlets. Leadership starts at the top of any organization, including team sports. These guys have the complete package, excellent coaches who understand and love the game of lacrosse and also are great role models for their players. Playing for Wasatch has been a great experience for my son, one that he will always remember.

    "The coaches genuinely care about my son's development..."

    The thing that stands out the most about Wasatch LC is the way that the team is managed. The coaches genuinely care about my son's development and overall lacrosse experience. The culture within the program is the best that I've seen. The players room, eat and play together at tournaments which creates a strong sense of brotherhood. I've overheard several of them wanting to spend time together outside of lacrosse and those friendships are what make Wasatch LC such a unique experience. Parent communication is clear and concise and you always know well in advance what to expect. The coaching is done at a very high level. I've noticed a lot of improvement in my son's lacrosse IQ and stick skills. Wasatch LC also does a great job of promoting the players on social media and we've already started to receive a lot of recruiting interest. Thankfully, the coaches have also helped my family to navigate that process! If you're looking for a positive lacrosse experience for your son where he will receive top-notch coaching, increase his confidence, make a bunch of new friends and greatly improve his lacrosse game, then look no further than Wasatch LC.

    "Wasatch LC has been the best decision by a landslide..."

    My son Christian has been playing lacrosse for over six years now and we have tried multiple club programs. I typically go and watch all of the practices and all of the games. I am able to evaluate the help he is getting and the progress he is making. Wasatch LC has been the best decision by a landslide. This club is very positive and very focused on the improvement and development of these boys. They are great about posting on social media and helping the boys get recruited and feel good about themselves during the process. They have always been very positive and their communication is very timely and proactive. You can tell that they do it because they love the sport and not just as a business opportunity.

    "What impresses me the most about Wasatch is the way in which they promote forward thinking..."

    My son has benefited greatly from his participation with Wasatch. The coaching staff are not only motivational but descriptive and instructional. Dylan is a kid who need's to understand how things work, Amos, Danny, Ricky and Adam all dedicated extensive time toward this end. What impresses me the most about Wasatch is the way in which they promote forward thinking. If the team has a great game they acknowledge the success with a sound respect for looking ahead to the next game. If the team struggles the coaches regroup and provide specific direction as to how the boys can improve. Dylan will be playing college lacrosse this coming year, he worked hard to get there and Wasatch worked right alongside him.
