Sean D.

I have coached youth teams, worked camps and provided private instruction for 14 years. I have coached beginner players as young as five years old and more skilled players that have graduated high school and are going to play collegiate lacrosse. In addition to coaching I have also been certified as a US Lacrosse Official.

While attending high school in Virginia, I was selected as the 2009 District Player of the Year in addition to being named to the All-Region and All-American teams. I attended the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA, and played on the NCAA men's lacrosse team for four years. While at UMW, I was a two-year team captain, two-time All-Conference selection, team MVP in 2012 and led the team in goals for two seasons.

I work with each athlete to develop the skills needed for the next level. Your son and I will accomplish this goal by taking an individual approach to the game, refining the skills each player currently possesses as well as equipping them with the tools required for today’s high paced game. Rather than focusing on the game as a unit of players, I break down each individual athlete’s strengths and weaknesses. By using this approach, each athlete will begin to perfect their strengths on the lacrosse field while strengthening their weaknesses. In addition to physical performance, each athlete will gain knowledge of the game to enhance their lacrosse IQ. Each player will grow their game by working on the core fundamentals of lacrosse and obtaining high repetitions in aspects such as

•Ground balls
•Shooting (down the alley, hitch and go, popping off the crease, step down and more)
•Off-ball movement
•Dodging
•Defensive positioning
•Clearing
•Riding
•Footwork
