Book Lessons with Coach Ava
Empowering athletes to play with confidence, discipline, and passion.
I'm Coach Ava, and I provide private lacrosse coaching focused on helping athletes build both their skills and confidence. My approach is individualized, meaning each session is designed around the athlete's specific goals, whether that's improving stick skills, game IQ, shooting, defense, or overall performance. I believe the best development happens when athletes feel challenged, supported, and motivated to grow. Through personalized instruction, consistent feedback, and a positive coaching environment, I help players develop the skills and mindset needed to succeed both on and off the field.

About Me:
I believe that through self belief and hard work a player can accomplish anything that you set your mind to, and that shows in my coaching style. I played from middle school through my freshman year of College at D3 Beloit College. I specialize in goalie and defensive player development. I spent seven years playing goalie and my final season playing defense. In those eight years I learned resilience, grit, and how to be a team player.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help lacrosse players improve by focusing on both their physical skills and their understanding of the game. Through self film analysis, athletes learn to recognize their strengths, identify areas for improvement, and develop a deeper awareness of their decision-making on the field. We also break down college lacrosse game film to study offensive and defensive concepts, player movement, positioning, and situational strategies. This helps athletes build their lacrosse IQ and understand how to anticipate plays rather than simply react to them. Alongside film study, I incorporate agility, speed, and footwork training to improve athletic performance, allowing players to move more efficiently, change direction quickly, and compete with greater confidence. By combining game intelligence with athletic development, athletes become more complete and impactful players.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Career summary and accomplishments:
I played for a total of eight years. 3 years of middle school, 3 years of Varsity with one year as captain, and 1 year of D3 college lacrosse. In high school I averaged 65% or higher save rate per game. While in college I transitioned from goalie to defense. Now I coach for Grapevine Colleyville K-6 girls lacrosse as the head coach and the assistant coach for Prosper girls high school team.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Kim, she was a tough love type of coach with a strong emphasis on conditioning, leading our high school team to be a very competitive and aggressive team. She wanted our wins wins almost more than we did and would hype us up throughout games.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I love lacrosse and everything I have learned from the sport and want to share that with others.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
