Interested in trying out for the team?

The team is growing every week! Want to see what all the hype is about? We are gearing up for a great spring season with a Varsity and a Junior Varsity team. This is the time to give lacrosse a try if you’ve never played before and the time to improve your skills if you’re a veteran player. Are you a water polo player or a soccer player or a cross country runner? All of those sports translate well for lacrosse and the seasons don’t conflict.

Team helmets and equipment

We are doing a custom team helmet order. If you are interested we are putting together a team helmet order for this year. $280 is the price for the XRS.

Equipment: Need to borrow before buying? We have limited equipment (shoulder pads & sticks) to borrow and happy to lend out gear.

2024-25 Coaching Staff

” Sports are amazing avenues where players can learn to be leaders and take that success off the field and apply it to all aspects of life ”

San Dieguito Academy Boys Lacrosse Varsity Head Coach, Kyle Allen. Kyle is entering into his 3rd year as Varsity Head Coach. He began his love of Lacrosse in High School while wanting to stay in shape in the off season of football. There his love for Lacrosse was formed, playing throughout high school and into junior college as a Defensiveman and a LSM. Kyle has over 18 years of coaching experience from youth to the collegiate level. Kyle came to SDA in 2022 from the San Diego City Conference where he was the head coach at Mira Mesa High School for 5 years. Along with being the head coach, Kyle is the San Diego League manager for ULAX and the Assistant Manager with US SPORTS CAMPS (lax, water polo & swim).

Kyle believes that coaching is the most rewarding job. He loves to see a player overcome challenges and reach their goal. At SDA Kyle enjoys the strong sense of community, values and work ethic. Every SDA player is dedicated and works towards their personal and team goals day by day even before they step on to the field. Coach Kyle’s favorite time of the day is sunset and watching it from the field at SDA is “pretty killer”,

Growing up in the Baltimore area, Romy learned to love the sport of lacrosse, frequently watching the best teams in the nation compete, like Johns Hopkins, Towson, Loyola, Maryland and Navy. As a midfielder for Towson High School, his team won the Maryland state JV championship sophomore year, and came in second place in the varsity championship junior and senior years. Following high school, Romy attended the University of Delaware, and played in the fall of his freshman year with the varsity lacrosse program, followed by four spring seasons playing for the club lacrosse team.

After graduating from Delaware with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and while starting his professional career in engineering supporting the US Navy, Romy spent two years coaching rec lacrosse in Annapolis, Maryland. After graduating with an MBA from Loyola University in Baltimore, Romy moved out west in the early 90’s to pursue a career in the software industry.

Coach Ed Cleary is an actual SDA Mustang alum from the old San Dieguito High School days in 1984! For the past decade, he has coached local club and recreational lacrosse teams both on the field and in the box. He’s coached all ages to multiple national tournament championships and simply loves being out on the field with the boys.
