#10
2x PLL All-Star & PLL Champion
Xander Dickson
Professional lacrosse player, coach, and leader building the next generation of top lacrosse athletes.
The XD10
Mentality
Growing up in Greenwich, Connecticut, Xander was constantly told that his town produced soft players. He used that as fuel. At UVA, he arrived with no guaranteed role, watching teammates take the positions he'd trained for his whole life. Instead of forcing it, he rebuilt his game entirely, mastering a position most coaches had already written off.
That same mentality carried him to back-to-back PLL All-Star selections in 2023 and 2024 and a 2025 Championship with the New York Atlas. He didn't get there by being the loudest in the room. He got there by outworking everyone in it.
That's what XD10 is built on. Not shortcuts, not spotlight moments. Just the work that happens when nobody's watching.
Connecticut
At XD10 Academy, Xander and Leo personally coach rising athletes, pushing them to become the best possible version of themselves on and off the field.

I didn't build XD10 to run another camp. I built it because I wish I'd had something like this growing up — a place where someone who had actually done it could sit down with you, break down your game, and tell you the truth. That's what this is.
Xander Dickson, #10, New York Atlas
Lacrosse gave me everything — the discipline, the relationships, the drive to keep getting better every single day. XD10 is my way of giving that back. If I can help a younger player find that same love for the game and give them the tools to chase it seriously, that's what this is all about.
