"My kids Nyla and Ben work with Coach Matt on a weekly basis every Sunday during the season. When we drive into the club we are always excited to see what he has set up for the kids. Whether it’s a customs putt putt course, a long drive competition with markers and top tracer, or “break stuff day” where he sets up fun breakable or knockdown-able targets the kids can hit at. He will even take things a bit further and go out there in himself and challenge the kids to try and hit him! We truly enjoy Coach Matt and his teaching technique, the kids can’t get enough of him!

"Before his game, my son Tyler was tossing the ball around with teammates but he always hitting the ground or missing. Because I never played, I didn’t know how to help him so I was lost. Then, this nice man wearing a Weymouth Lacrosse fleece came up to me, introduced himself as Mike and asked if he could help my son. I said sure. Mike went over to Tyler and asked him to shoot the ball at the net. After 2 or 3 shots hitting the ground or missing, Mike grabbed his stick. After untying some strings he gave it back to Tyler. Tyler’s shots/passes were now on target. I asked Mike what he did, he said he “fixed the whip.” For the next 15 mins or so Mike was working on Tyler’s throwing catching & cradling. Tyler, who wanted to quit lacrosse because his stick “didn’t work” now gets excited for games. Spoiler, Mike was the opposing teams coach but that didn’t matter. He saw a player who needed help and he helped him. Thank Mike!
