Our Program
The M&D DC Lax program demands a team-oriented attitude that is displayed on and off the field. M&D plays excellent competition and are showcased in some of the nation’s top events. This program is modeled after college programs, with emphasis on teamwork, discipline and dedicating themselves to lacrosse year-round. Playing for M&D gives athletes the experience of traveling all over the east coast and playing competitive lacrosse.
Player Commitment
It is expected that any player who tries out for M&D (2025/26 Season) that makes a team will be playing for M&D during the fall of 2025 & summer of 2026. It is a full one-year commitment. The classes of 2030 through 2035 will also be playing in the spring of 2026 in the NGLL. M&D does promote multi-sports athletes. Our stance is that lacrosse games and practices that occur in the spring and summer should take priority over all other sports. In the fall and winter, any lacrosse games or practices should take a secondary priority to fall or winter sports. Players will not be penalized for missing practices or games in the fall or winter.
Travel Team Information
To facilitate and elevate players’ abilities to the next level, M&D provides instruction and coaching by our staff of knowledgeable and proven coaches. This is a major differentiator of M&D from many other lacrosse clubs. Our elite coaching staff works with our teams in enhancing fundamental skills as well as developing team offensive and defensive concepts. We have regularly scheduled practices throughout the year.
Spring – Youth and Middle school teams practice 2-3 times a week from March through May. High School does not practice, to allow athletes to focus on their school teams.
Summer – All M&D teams practice 1-3 times a week.
Fall – To promote multi-sport athletes, we practice only one day a week.
