Salem Lacrosse Club (SLC) was created to grow the game of lacrosse in the Mid-Valley and provide local athletes with access to high-quality coaching, competitive opportunities, and a clear path for development. Growing up playing lacrosse in Portland, Oregon, I experienced firsthand the impact that strong coaching and structured programs can have on an athlete’s development.

I began coaching shortly after high school at Oregon Episcopal School (OES), working with both youth and high school programs and contributing to two state championship teams. Since then, I have served as a Head Coach at Sheldon High School and coached at Wilsonville High School, in addition to working with multiple club programs across the region. Throughout my coaching experience, I consistently saw athletes traveling from Salem, Albany, Corvallis, and Eugene to access higher-level training and competition.

Salem Lacrosse Club was built to change that. As the first program of its kind in the Salem area, our goal is to provide a local, high-level opportunity for athletes to train, compete, and grow without needing to leave their community. We are committed to developing not only skilled lacrosse players, but confident, disciplined, and high-character young leaders—while building a stronger future for lacrosse in the Mid-Valley.
