Madlax Girls Lacrosse Program Coaches & Staff

Madlax coaches undergo extensive training and a rigorous screening process to ensure they meet the highest standards of excellence before working with your daughters. Our coaching staff is highly professional, punctual, and well-prepared, consistently adhering to our program’s character expectations (C.A.S.E.) and our playing time philosophy.

We pride ourselves on having the most experienced and positive coaches in the greater DC area, who serve not only as instructors but also as role models and mentors. All Madlax coaches are unified in their approach, teaching a cohesive system with consistent language and terminology for offense, defense, clears, and rides.

Team chemistry and continuity are cornerstones of Madlax, a testament to our dedicated coaches who genuinely care about building strong relationships with players while striving to win the right way.
