Silverbacks Lacrosse teams are directed by Christian Zwickert who was a D1 and D3 college assistant and head coach for 14 years. The program is looking for advanced players who are looking to make a serious commitment to their development as individuals in a team environment.
Mission – “Development of the Player” / Philosophy – “Teach Not Tell.”
