Dan Achatz founded Be The Best Lacrosse Club in 2021 with a simple belief: youth lacrosse deserved better. Better coaching. Better culture. Better development. What started as a vision on Long Island has grown into one of the most respected club programs in the region — with 20+ teams, 400+ members, and a reputation for doing things the right way.
Boys Varsity Coach at Plainedge. Special Ed Teacher. Relentless studier of the game and how to get the best out of every player. As both the club’s founder and Girls Program Director, Dan leads with the same intensity he expects from every player on the field. He built BTB to be more than a lacrosse club — it’s a movement that puts player development, character, and competitive excellence above everything else.
