More About Coach Rich

I have worked with competitive youth programs participating in the World Series of Lacrosse and players who have succeeded in their High School programs as well as players who have gone on to play College Lacrosse.

I have coached clinics, private sessions, recreational and club teams for players just beginning their lacrosse careers all the way through high schoolers who are preparing for a collegiate experience. I know I can develop a positive and confident player attitude and will work to eliminate fear of creativity and the learning process.

I have been playing lacrosse since I was 12 years old. I played in the early days of Orange County Lacrosse and transitioned to play Junior Ice Hockey before picking it back up in my late 20's as a player and coach I TRULY fell in love with the sport when I began coaching.

I tailor each session to the needs of the player. Most commonly we will start sessions with a dynamic warm up followed by stick skills and or footwork. I then incorporate conditioning,agility, balance into Lacrosse drills. We will wrap up during a cooldown to discuss the session and potential "homework" to reinforce lessons. Attitude and repetition are the keys to skill mastery. My mission is to provide a set of fundamentals and develop player confidence and passion for the game and their own gameplay.

Rich was great, even with a short lesson my son picked up a few key tactics and skills. Highly recommend booking a lesson.

Coach Rich is fantastic. He was able to break down concepts in a very simple way for my son to grasp. He truly has a passion for the game and for coaching. Highly recommend to kids of all ages, and levels of the game.

My son had his first session with Coach Madrid and we were very impressed. He was professional from start to finish. He asked great questions and shared his background and game plan right up front. He worked very well with my son and gave just the right balance of push and encouragement. We look forward to continuing our son’s coaching sessions with Rich.

Coach Rich is an outstanding professional teacher! His experience shows up in his firm but easy going teaching style. He custom creates sessions for our varsity attack player but also offers usable knowledge for other positions. This broadens and balances the experience and is apparent in the games that follow each session. I have spoken to other parents waiting in the wings for their session and they all have had positive things to say about their investment, as well. I highly recommend coach Rich for any level of lax training.

We loved our first session! He was very attentive and patient teaching my son the fundamentals, providing pointers!Looking forward to our future sessions

Rich does an outstanding job at tailoring the training towards my son's skill and ability. My son's confidence and knowledge of the game has improved. Rich has also been very accommodating when coordinating schedules. If you are looking for a lacrosse coach, Rich is your guy!

Coach Madrid listened to me and picked out the best drills to fit what i needed the most improvement on. He was able to critique me but also let me know the things i did well and how to be better overall. His attention to not only the general improvements i could make but also his attention to things as small as where i placed my feet, my posture, form, etc, made the session much more helpful!

Coach Rich is a fantastic coach. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. Great at finding personalized ways to help different athlete's needs. Highly recommended for improving your game.
