About All American Lacrosse
All American was created out of a love for the game of lacrosse. Our mission is simply to be the best provider of lacrosse instruction and events in the Midwest. This mission will contribute to the continued growth and quality improvement of the sport, an ideal hopefully shared by all who read this. Unlike many competitors, lacrosse is all we do at All American. We are a family-owned business 100% focused on helping players improve.
All American is devoted to finding and retaining the best coaches and to develop teaching programs and methods that yield the best results for students. All of our coaches are required to have Level 2 Certification (highest available) by US Lacrosse, and all have passed thorough background screening by the National Center for Safety Initiatives.
Our commitment to quality extends beyond instruction with our focus on customer service, organization and processes for smooth operations, and making each program that you encounter with us a fun experience. Beyond all this, we have gone to great lengths to host our programs at facilities that are second to none.
All of our games are coached. Our coaching and advisory staff includes some of the best players, teachers and lacrosse practitioners in the game. We spend time thinking about how to teach and plan programs toward one single, simple, focused goal. THE GOAL IS INDIVIDUAL IMPROVEMENT. PERIOD. In our leagues, we keep no statistics. No standings. No championship. Every All American coach is there to teach kids how to get better.
