Testimonials
Morgan started lacrosse last fall and my husband and I knew nothing about it. We are now hooked on it and Morgan loves it. He carries his stick with him whenever he can and practices as much as he can. He's played basketball in the past but there was never a real passion. Playing lacrosse with Coastal Empire has allowed him to meet boys from several schools; at one tournament in Hilton Head, our team had approximately 13 boys with 9 schools represented - it was awesome. These guys didn't know each other very well but they played like a team that had been together for a few seasons. That one skill will benefit them forever. On respect and sportsmanship, Dan Umbel and his coaches don't put up with bad behavior or bad attitudes. The big guys are expected to be good role models for the younger ones. I've seen this on the field and I've heard it in the car on the way home from practice. Lacrosse will be in Savannah forever and I hope that the guys who haven't found their sport yet will get a stick and try it out. It has been an amazing experience and I'm thrilled for my son.

couldn’t be more thrilled that organized girls (women’s) lacrosse has found its way to the Coastal Empire/Savannah. I grew up outside Philadelphia and played varsity lacrosse in high school and some limited club after college, and was sad that that same experience wouldn’t be there for my own daughter. This program is building a solid core of girls who play and love the game. The fundamentals are taught in a fun and engaging way by coaches who are obviously super passionate about the game and passing on their knowledge. Each season gets better and better!

Ryan might be on the younger side of the equation (at 6), but he’s tremendously enjoying his time at the clinic under your leadership. Lacrosse combines an incredible blend of disciplines not found in other sports by themselves. In Ryan’s short time at the clinics, he’s already developing much stronger hand-eye coordination and learning to compete in a dynamic, physically challenging environment where contact, while a part of the game, is secondary to the exciting action of the players working as a team to move the ball down the field and score. It takes the best of soccer, hockey and basketball and puts them all on one field.

Our son has enjoyed multiple sports, and when he discovered lacrosse, he found his passion. Coastal Empire and its coaches have supported his development as an individual player and team member. His skills have progressed immensely, and his confidence has grown as well. He continues to learn the value of being a team member, including a focus on integrity and playing the game with honor and respect. We are grateful for the opportunity Lowlax provides to learn, love and play this great sport.
