About us
What's up guys!!!
After meeting in 2019 as college teammates, Carson and Sam founded Blue Dogs Lacrosse along with Carson’s childhood friend Braeden, who started a YouTube channel called Beachwood Boys with Carson in 2015. The company’s original purpose was to be a creative outlet for discussing and playing lacrosse during the guys’ off-time, and so began the Blue Dogs Laxcast hosted by Sam and Carson and our summer team with Braeden and Carson. Over the following years, our minds dreamed of a greater vision than just some college buddies trying to fill their spare time with more lacrosse-related activities. We wanted to become more active participants in the growth of the game we love, so we added more of our friends who share the same vision. Paul joined to help with video content, Zach as another content creator, Jack to help run our increasingly successful summer teams, and Sean to help us expand our video content group. With the combined effort of all of these incredible people, our summer team is a national force, our video content is some of the best in the media sphere, and we are constantly envisioning and experimenting with new forms of engagement for those who are both new to the game and seasoned fans or players. We want to leave the game better than we found it, and we hope you join us in growing the game like never before.
If you need a reminder, go outside and play some lacrosse.
