Our History & Philosophy
Our History
Founded in the summer of 2012, Seven Hills Lacrosse has been dedicated to developing top-tier lacrosse talent in Central Massachusetts for over a decade. Now entering our 13th season, we have built a competitive and supportive environment that helps players reach their full potential.Our name, Seven Hills, comes from the historic hills of Worcester, MA—Hancock, Bancroft, Newton, Green, Chandler, Union (Sagatabscot), and Mt. St. James (College Hill)—which serve as the foundation of our program. With Shrewsbury High School as our primary training location, we have established a premier lacrosse program that continues to grow the game across Central Massachusetts. From the start, our goal has been to provide the very best instruction, along with opportunities to compete in local, regional, and national recruiting tournaments—all while fostering a love for the game and bringing Central Mass high school athletes together.
Our Mission
At Seven Hills Lacrosse, we are committed to creating a nurturing and competitive environment where young athletes can thrive. Our focus is on providing comprehensive training programs and resources that equip players with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed at the high school, collegiate, and elite club levels. Through dedicated coaching, structured practices, and high-level competition, we strive to develop well-rounded players who excel both on and off the field.
Our Approach
We take a holistic approach to player development, focusing not only on technical skill-building but also on the intangibles that lead to long-term success—teamwork, discipline, resilience, and sportsmanship.Our coaching staff, made up of former college players, elite high school athletes, and experienced lacrosse minds, works closely with players in individual and team settings to refine skills, develop game IQ, and prepare them for the highest levels of competition.Additionally, we offer specialized coaching for key positions, including goalie and faceoff training, ensuring that every player has the opportunity to master their role on the field. What sets us apart is our commitment to continuity—our coaches stay with their teams year after year, developing strong relationships with players and guiding them through each stage of their lacrosse journey.
Our Philosophy
At Seven Hills Lacrosse, we believe that coaching is about more than just the X’s and O’s. Our goal is to help players reach their full potential, not only as athletes but as leaders and young men of character. Through the sport of lacrosse, we teach valuable life lessons in accountability, perseverance, and integrity. We challenge our athletes to push themselves, to work as a team, and to strive for excellence in everything they do—both on and off the field. At the core of our program is a deep passion for the game and a commitment to growing the sport in Central Massachusetts. Seven Hills Lacrosse is more than just a club; it’s a community, a brotherhood, and a launchpad for success in lacrosse and beyond.
