Idaho lacrosse – Cityside

We pride ourselves on our mission, our philosophy, and our commitment to developing the best lacrosse players in the Mountain West.

01

Our Mission is Simple…

Lacrosse has changed the lives of every CitySideLax coach and staff member, and now our mission is to provide that same opportunity for the young men and women of the Pacific Northwest. The paramount goal is utilizing the athletic classroom for every one of our athletes to hone their lacrosse skills and become better players while harnessing their experiences to mature as individuals off the field. Through our camps, clinics, lessons and teams our players get the individual attention, inspiration and challenge they need to take full advantage of lacrosse’s opportunities and life-lessons.

02

Our Philosophy is Bedrock…

At CitySideLax, everything we do is rooted in our development philosophy (F.U.N.) and our core values (P.I.C.A.). F.U.N. and P.I.C.A. guide us every time we step on the field and stay with us whenever we step off it. We do not choose our family members based purely on skill or production on the field; instead we look at the overall person and how they can improve and positively represent the CitySideLax community. With that being said, creating a highly competitive and extremely skilled team is important to us.

Our Mission to Develop Elite Idaho Lacrosse Players Across the Treasure Valley

At CitySide208 our mission is clear: to deliver the highest-quality idaho lacrosse experience focused on long-term player development rather than short-term wins. We believe every athlete deserves a program that builds skill, character, and confidence while supporting the entire Treasure Valley community.
Our development philosophy is built on two simple frameworks — F.U.N. (Fun, Unity, Nurture) and P.I.C.A. (Passion, Integrity, Commitment, Accountability). These values guide every practice, clinic, and game whether we are on the field in boise lacrosse or training under the lights in meridian lacrosse. We do not select players based solely on talent; we choose families who align with our culture and want to grow together.
This approach has made CitySide208 the trusted choice for families throughout the region. In eagle lacrosse we help young athletes transition from recreational play to competitive travel teams. Parents in nampa lacrosse and caldwell lacrosse appreciate our year-round training options that fit busy school schedules. For kuna lacrosse and middleton lacrosse players we provide convenient local sessions that eliminate long drives while still delivering elite coaching.
We proudly support all local leagues including TVYLL youth, SWILAX high school, and IMSLA middle school programs. Whether your child is brand new to the sport or already competing at a high level, our coaches — many of whom grew up playing idaho lacrosse themselves — create individualized plans that accelerate growth both on and off the field.
As a program aligned with national standards, we follow guidelines set by USA Lacrosse, the official governing body of the sport in the United States. This ensures our players receive safe, professional-level coaching and development opportunities that meet the highest standards in the country.
Many of our athletes set their sights even higher, using CitySide208 as a stepping stone toward competing at the professional level in the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL). Our training methods are designed to prepare dedicated players for the next level while keeping the fun and family atmosphere that defines us.
What truly sets us apart is our non-corporate, family-first environment. We treat every player like part of our extended CitySide208 family, celebrating personal milestones and academic success alongside lacrosse achievements. Families moving into the Treasure Valley quickly discover that joining CitySide208 means more than just signing up for a team — it means gaining a lifelong support system dedicated to raising well-rounded athletes.
If you are searching for meaningful idaho lacrosse opportunities that honor both competition and community, CitySide208 is ready to welcome you.
