Our
Legacy

Growing the game. Developing the Player

Built for Players Who Love the Game

Legacy Lacrosse Center was built to give players something we believe is missing in youth sports:

A true home for development.

A place where a player can pick up a stick for the first time, build their skills, become a better athlete, learn their position, compete, and continue being challenged as they improve.

We aren’t interested in development ending when a camp ends or a season is over.

We want players to have a place to keep getting better.

"As a former collegiate lacrosse player I know the importance of being in the right environment and its impact on growth, development and overall confidence. There are very few trainers I know who focus on player development, physically and mentally, because they just don't know how.

Most clubs just focus on winning - give the fast 4th grader the ball and everyone cheer for the win. Ethan Lahoda and Legacy are the exception. Ethan attracts the best (see Casey Powell) and is highly respected in the lacrosse world. He is development-focused on the individual and the team.

I really don't know anyone else in Colorado I can say that about. In Colorado I trust my lax players' development, my 2029 Fairview sophomore daughter and my 2035 4th grade son, to Ethan and only Ethan."

"I was referred to Coach LaHoda by a mutual friend while I was looking for additional coaching for my son. I immediately began following him on social media and was impressed with his message and how he communicated with young athletes. I knew this was someone that I wanted to mentor my son.

We spent 2 months in Denver working with Coach Ethan. The lacrosse training was some of the best my son has been a part of. Not only was my son improving built he was truly looking forward to practice.

Coach Ethan teaches lacrosse in a way that the athletic skills that will transfer to other sports. He also teaches hard work and leadership."

My son worked with Christian this past summer, and it was a great experience. He was encouraging, intentional, and helped my son grow his confidence in preparing for his sports season. The facility is great too! I highly recommend!

I’ve been with Christian for 4.5 years and I loved every second of it. He’s understanding, smart and good at what he does. I’ve seen good athletes become great. Even I have seen a change in my mindset, work ethic and baseball performance. 11/10

I have been working with Christian since January 2025, and he has played a huge role in helping me reach my full potential as a dual-sport college athlete. His knowledge of training and how to get performing at the best ability made me become stronger, faster, and more confident in my abilities. He especially knows how to train for football and what areas athletes need to focus on to take their game to the next level. Christian has helped me learn how to properly train, recover, take care of my body, and become a better player.

"We can't say enough good things about Christian at Legacy! Our 13-year-old son Thatcher has been training with him, and the results have been remarkable. Christian has completely transformed his running form, and he's noticeably faster. The difference is already clear on the lacrosse field.

What impresses us most is the relationship Christian has built with our son. He respects Christian tremendously and genuinely has fun at every session. Christian knows how to push kids while keeping training enjoyable, which is no small feat with a teenager.

The best part? Our son is now so motivated that he's started working out on his own. Christian didn't just make him a better athlete. He inspired a love of training and a work ethic that will carry him far beyond this season. If you're looking for a trainer who gets real results and connects with young athletes, Christian is the one. We're so grateful!"

A Proven Track Record

Our coaches have trained players who’ve gone on to compete at every level of the game — from the San Diego Seals of the NLL to programs across the country: Army, Bellarmine, Boston College, Bucknell, Denver, Harvard, High Point, Hobart, Hofstra, Jacksonville, Loyola, Mercyhurst, Northwestern, Penn, St. John’s, Vermont, Yale, Colorado Mesa, Concordia Irvine, Florida Tech, Tampa, Westminster, William Jewell, Baldwin Wallace, Carthage, Centre, Chatham, Colorado College, Lake Forest, Whittier, Point Park, and more.

Those paths look different — D1, D2, D3, NAIA, and the pros — and that’s the point. We don’t train one type of player. We train players who want to get better, and we help them find the level that fits.

Current Legacy Athletes

The best way to show what development at Legacy can lead to is through the athletes who have done it. Legacy Athletes recognizes the boys and girls who have trained within our programs and gone on to compete at the next level. Here are just a few of our top athletes.
