I have coached lacrosse for 4 years now at the high school and middle school level.
I started coaching in Portland, OR with a JV Lacrosse team. None of the girls had ever touched a lacrosse stick before - the first season we lost every game, but the second year with the same group we improved to 8-5.
Since moving to LA, I have coached at a private middle school and for a local middle school club team.

I started playing lacrosse in 6th grade in New Jersey and continued through high school and college - playing at the club level at Syracuse University.

The main thing I like to focus on is catching and throwing. These aspects of lacrosse are integral to the game and allow players to build upon their skills. I also like to use sessions to work on athleticism - foot skills, agility and injury prevention.
