Hear what Fall 2022 parents said about Bethesda Lacrosse...

"Both of my son's experienced their first year of lacrosse and loved it. They were pushed to be competitive but their coaches also supported their learning through constant encouragement. They always felt good walking off the field. I really loved their coaches. My sons got more out of it than lacrosse! I would recommend!"

"I was so impressed by the whole experience, from the sign ups through to the weekly communication. Our son had a great time and really learned a lot - I was shocked at how many skills the kids all picked up! "

"Great experience!"  

 "We will be back!"

Bethesda Lacrosse Association remains as the area's only non-profit youth lacrosse program that works to bring the love of lacrosse to all those that are interested in playing in a format that safe, fun, competitive and instructional.
