PROGRAM MISSION STATEMENT
To provide the optimal training environment for female lacrosse players in San Diego and neighboring areas. A sharp focus on skill development and growth - as a player and person. Our training sessions are coordinated and designed to improve player skills - pushing players to better themselves every time them hit the field. Tournaments/Events are scheduled to allow competition against elite programs, yet truly serve as a measuring stick to gauge player development. And any/all travel is carefully chosen to afford college recruiting exposure and out of region competition. Lastly, the Pacfic Falcons program  prides itself on putting the player first - offering a safe and supportive environment where players enjoy the life experiences & deep friendships that are uniquely available through a club lacrosse team.

2017 Team - Champs

A mixed team of Frosh/8th graders headed up to UCSB Feb 15/16 for a two day tournament. The team went undefeated in pool play, easily won their semi final, and then took Aliso Niguel HS to overtime in the championship game. Having beat Aliso in pool play 9-6, the rematch proved to be more tightly contested - and a lot more physical. After trailing at half by 1, the young guns held a 2 goal lead going into the final 4 minutes, ...but Aliso Niguel was able to tie it in the final minute. Going into OT man down, the  team was unable to hold off Aliso. A solid showing all around - Great Job Girls!

GREAT JOB

For the past 7 Years Catlin Brown has carried the burden of being not only the face of the Pacific Falcons, but doing so as my daughter. This past weekend Catlin participated in her 7th and final Sandstorm as a player. And for the 2nd year she led her team into the championship game with the same ease and unselfish play that has defined her lacrosse career to date. Cat has been a teammate, and trusted friend, to most of the top players in San Diego for the past 8 years. It has been a pleasure  to inform opposing coaches, refs, players, parents, and scouts that she is my daughter. Be it a CIF game, Club tournament, NT Event, UnderArmor Showcase, or U15 Nationals, whether they were offering praise or expressing their "frustrations", I remained a proud coach and father. And while I may no longer be her coach, Cat will always be my favorite Pacific Falcon. Thank you for countless adventures and your perseverance through the recruiting process - I. love you Cat - Dad/Coach Joe

PACIFIC FALCONS 2014 TEAM

Words cannot adequately express my respect and admiration for this outstanding group of young women. They stuck together and supported each other every step of the way. A collection of players from Coronado, Mission Hills, Scripps, Del Norte, Westview, Los Al, Bishops, and La Costa Canyon. Many 2014' from San Diego have worn a Pacific Jersey along the way, and I am proud to have coached them all, but this group stayed the course. They proved that the power of many is greater than the interests of any one. Thank You for being such great role models to those that follow in your footsteps! Coach Lyndsey and I have enjoyed the ride and will always treasure the memories - Coach Joe

The Pacific Falcons went 14-1 last weekend at their annual event
The teams all played well - many played games short handed &/or with guest players
Our MS team played most games with 7 or 8 field players & still won every game
Our weekend was highlighted by an all program game Sun afternoon
Thank you to our great players, parents, and coaches for all you do to support the club

This picture captures the essence of our team - no need for glitz or glamour, we just play hard!

11-1 v NW LaxRippers, 16-0 v Beachhead, 14-4 v Newlax, 13-0 v Desert Heat, 5-4 v Mamaci, 3-4 v BearLax

The Navy and Pacific Teams each played a solid 6 games over the weekend. Royal had the best record going 3-2-1 on the weekend, with both losses to 2014 teams (Bearlax 14Blue and WCS 2014) and a tie against a mixed age team (Mamaci Elite). Navy played as a mixed unit with some frosh and 8th graders cutting their teeth in the elite bracket. The team ended up 2-3-1, but the record does not reflect the overall success. As a club we are not use to going 5-5-2, but each team improved as the event went forward and we saw a lot of player growth on many levels. Our player of the tournament was Paige "Sunny" Soenksen - she anchored both teams in the goal and had well over 100 saves on the weekend...many right on the crease! GREAT JOB SUNNY!!!!

Follow the team on facebook!

The team played as a split squad in the 5 pool games and then came together for a great win in the Championship.

The U15 White Team dominated the competition in AZ. The girls outscored competition 54-18 over 5 games - game scores were 14-3, 10-3, 11-4, 9-4, and 10-4. The girls played well and we really came togther as a team off the field. Pacific has qualified 2 teams for Orlando (Blue & White) - we will start that planning process immediately.

SANDSTORM CHAMPS

Congratulations to the players and coaches - the team went 5-0 and dominated every team in their division. Devon Doheny was nominated to the all tournament team - ALL players showed a ton of class and poise by not running up the score on teams or playing selfish lacrosse. A great accomplishment for this group of players - they are the first Pacific Falcons team to win their division at Sandstorm. CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!!
