“I am the parent of a passionate lacrosse player, and finding the ideal coach and trainer for my son was critical. Kyle emerged as more than a coach; he became a mentor who significantly developed my son's skills from his youth stages through high school, preparing him for collegiate play.”

-Former Parent

“Kyle distinguished himself with a comprehensive training approach. He didn't limit his focus to shooting; his footwork and positioning drills substantially enhanced my son's overall gameplay. His techniques for dodging and on-the-run shooting have been crucial in my son's evolution into a versatile player.”

-Former Parent

“When I was a young lacrosse player starting to become more serious about the sport, my father and I began to look for a coach to help me grow individually through private lessons. We immediately knew that Kyle would be the guy. Kyle was a coach for one of my club lacrosse teams and he always had something new to teach. Coach Kyle truly cared about the sport and his players and always wanted the best for everyone.”

Kyle taught me the virtues of hard work, discipline, and dedication which lead me to where I am today.

Kyle truly loves the game and has given back to the lacrosse community more than anyone I know.”

“As we began our private sessions Kyle learned what I was comfortable with and what needed to be worked on.

From dodging to shooting to simple game knowledge I was always learning something new.”

-Former Player

“Coach Smedley was my high school coach from 2016-2019. During that time our La Jolla team moved up two divisions and earned the school's first regional and national ranking. Not only is he a great motivator who has a deep understanding of the game, he excels at finding areas for players to improve upon and how to do so. Coach ‘Smeds’ worked closely with me to improve my one-on-one defense and abilities in transition and was a key factor in helping me get to the next level, giving me valuable advice on recruiting as well as speaking to coaches on my behalf.”

“Kyle Smedley is one of the best lacrosse mentors I have ever had in my life and I am fortunate to have two championships, one from the MIAA and one from the CAC, from Maryland to prove it. I first observed Kyle Smedley as a player on the St. Paul’s varsity team as a fan. He was unique to me because he played the entire game with a humble attitude connected to his role on the team, the respect he demanded from his teammates, and his commitment to be a champion.”

-Former Player

“I am now currently playing my 3rd year of college lacrosse and still think about the drills that Kyle would have me doing. Without Kyle’s help throughout the years I would certainly not be where I am today, and I am forever grateful for the work that Kyle did with me and for the relationship created between us.”

-Former Player

“I would like to highlight Coach Smedley’s leadership qualities. With our St Paul’s lacrosse 2010 championship team, he spoke to us to about how important it is to be a champion. There are a multiple number of Crusaders that changed lacrosse for the betterment of the game, but there are only 25 championship teams. Some of the greatest players in history do not have a championship ring from high school or college. The fact that from the first practice until the last practice before the championship game, he fought for our team to reach our full potential. It was unacceptable by Coach Smedley to allow mediocrity in his alma mater’s uniform therefore he was a key force pushing our team to run sprints before our championship to realized that we “earned” this opportunity as a team.”

-Former Player

“Kyle Smedley is an expert coach and mentor who will undoubtedly contribute to the athletic, professional, and moral development of lacrosse players of all ages.

Throughout this time, Kyle directly facilitated my development as a top-tier lacrosse player through his immense understanding of the game, his fun, charismatic coaching style, and his access to resources and connections in the collegiate lacrosse world and beyond. Kyle played a large role in shaping me as an individual and a leader, and I am extremely grateful to have him as a coach and a friend.”
