What is LC New York? 
 
The Lacrosse Club of New York (LCNY) is a Boys’ Elite Club Lacrosse Program designed for players committed to learning individual and team lacrosse skills conducted in a “college style” practice environment and competing in high level tournaments, primarily in the Summer Season. LCNY also runs development sessions and plays in tournaments during the fall and/or winter seasons. During the spring, we slow things down so that our players can play for their school or town teams.
 
Our Directors and Coaches
 
 LC New York’s Directors, Max Seibald, Rob Pannell, and Mat Levine, use their extensive lacrosse playing, coaching, and organizational expertise to create a compelling annual lacrosse curriculum. Max and Rob are hands on, and lead the instruction and coaching for each player in the club, especially during the fall and winter. 

Our directors will contribute their passion for excellence to LC New York by shaping and organizing our program’s player and team development year over year.  Max and Rob will personally select, and work closely with, the rest of the LCNY coaching staff, many of whom are current and former teammates.  This staff of coaches and special clinicians will be composed of current/former MLL players, college coaches, and former college players from top Division I-II-III programs who have a strong passion for working with young players, teaching the game, and executing our program philosophy.
