HOW IT'S GOING!

South Bay Lacrosse Club (SBLC) is a multifaceted youth sports organization based out of Manhattan Beach, California.

We have the highest qualified coaching staff, the most recreational teams per age group, as well as the most purposeful programming year round, for all skill levels. We are the gateway to lacrosse in the South Bay.

With over 300 children in our program, we are able to cater to all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Our strong relationships in the South Bay community allow us to reach more families and grow the sport we love so much.

WHY CHOOSE SBLC?

Given the fluidity of lacrosse, we believe that "on-field" success is derived from high energy and positivity. These two attributes are at the core of our coaching philosophy.

Our priority in every program is to provide a positive and enriching player experience.  We believe that this comes from participating in a well-structured and engaging learning environment.

Every portion for our programs has a purpose aimed towards player development. With age appropriate curriculums, our staff looks to develop not only proper fundamentals and lacrosse "IQ", but a passion for the sport.

HOW WE STARTED...

SBLC was officially founded in 2013. What began as a small group of boys who's dads were the coaches, is now the largest coed rec program in Los Angeles.

Just to give you perspective, the players in the photo to the left are now going into their freshmen years! The majority of them are all continuing their lacrosse careers in high school, and a few have aspirations to play lacrosse at the collegiate level.

SBLC Player Development Map

At South Bay Lacrosse Club, we understand that we have a responsibility to educate and inspire our athletes. In an effort to provide our players with a positive experience, we have developed a series of programs to properly introduce, develop, enhance and challenge our athletes throughout the year.  We believe that high quality training should be not only affordable, but local to our South Bay players.  Although these steps are proven and highly suggested, they are not necessary to participate in our programs. We will always accept any interested athletes during the "Intro, Develop, and Enhance" stages.
