More About Coach Allen
I started coaching lacrosse when my daughters entered high school, and have continued long after they graduated. I've taught scores of beginners, and have also developed players to go on to D1 colleges as well. I hold both Level 1 and Level 2 Coaching Certifications from US Lacrosse, and am working on Level 3.
I played club lacrosse at University of Colorado at Boulder. During high school, I played at Phillips Andover Academy, one of the leading Prep school programs in the country.
Each session will be tailored to the individual's desired position and current skill level. For example, if working with a freshman who is unsure of their preferred position and with limited playing experience, the emphasis will be on basic stick work and overall conditioning. If working with a senior attacker, the emphasis will be on off hand development, advanced dodges and shooting from multiple angles.

I've been taking lacrosse lessons with Coach Al for a few months now, and I have rapidly improved! I had nearly no experience when I started out, but now, I've gained confidence and skill with the stick! Coach Al is a great mentor and I look forward to our classes every week!
Miyuki (CoachUp client)
My daughter began playing lacrosse earlier this year. In the first lesson with Coach Allen, she already learned a lot and Coach Allen is great. He explained what my daughter is good at, what she needs to work on, and how she can improve in a clear concise manner. For every skill, he taught her “why” a certain move in a specific form is important in a game, which I think only an experienced coach like Coach Allen can do. We live far from San Ramon, but we feel it’s worth travelling there to receive a high quality lesson from Coach Allen.
Mallorie (CoachUp client)
Allen was awesome. My son has never played Lacrosse before, but wants to play in high school. We came to Allen to have him learn the basics and Allen was the perfect person to teach him. Our son enjoyed himself so much, we will be booking several more lessons with him!
Rebecca (CoachUp client)
Coach Allen was great with my two boys who are just learning to play! He was patient, kind and taught them a lot of basic skills. The boys had a blast and are excited to keep playing and do more sessions with Coach.
Leslie (CoachUp client)
Coach Allen was great! My daughter is a beginner and needed help with the basics. Coach Allen was knowledgable and enthusiastic. She learned a ton during the first session! We'll be signing up for more training with Coach Allen.
April (CoachUp client)
Coach Allen was great! My son is new to high school lacrosse & has been fairly nervous about starting, coach Al put him at ease immediately. He covered a variety of plays & gave a great baseline for what to focus on. Looking forward to more sessions.
Troy (CoachUp client)
I really enjoyed my training with Coach Allen. I have never played lacrosse before and he just great. He was very patient and understanding, you can tell he genuinely wants to help you learn and succeed. He also has a very strong background of lacrosse in his family, which was cool because you can tell their was a lot of passion behind his coaching! If you’re looking for a great coach and a super nice guy Coach Allen is your man!
Carrie (CoachUp client)
I was very impressed with my daughters first session with Coach Allen. He was engaging, encouraging, and fun. His corrections/tips were clear, easily understood and had her showing progress before the end of the session. My daughter walked away feeling like this was the first time she had heard a few basic things that are going to be game changers after playing for four years. She can’t wait to go back and work with him again next week. Thanks Coach Allen!!
Brian (CoachUp client)
Allen was great with my daughter. He got to know her and what positions she likes to play. He worked with her and gave excellent feedback as they worked together.
Mona (CoachUp client)
My daughter loved her lesson with coach Allen. She had fun while learning so much! He is easy going and very knowledgeable. She is looking forward to her next session!
Patricia (CoachUp client)
My daughter is taking lacrosse lessons from Coach Allen, and we couldn't be happier. He is professional, very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. My daughter is somewhat new to Lacrosse, so I was hoping she could learn from someone who would teach her the basics, and advance from there. I'm very glad we found coach Allen. My daughter is looking forward to more lessons. In fact, we just signed up for the five pack!
Heidi (CoachUp client)
Coach Allen was fantastic. My daughter really benefitted from the work she did with him. Would highly recommend!
Teresa R (Testimonial)
We had lacrosse lesson with coach Allen last Sunday, Oct. 15. My two girls really like it and can't wait to have the next lesson. I've already seen the improvement they made for the first time. Looking forward...
