Book Private Lacrosse Lessons with Coach Elijah
I played high school lacrosse in Houston (Houston Christian High School) and then went on to play four years of collegiate lacrosse at the University of Mount Olive, and graduated in April 2024. I started playing lacrosse in fourth grade and have been in love with the game ever since. I have multiple years of coaching experience at various camps where I coached kids from 1st grade all the way through high school. I also have some experience doing private individual coaching on the side. Overall, I would love to stay involved in the game and would like to be able to make an impact on the next generation of lacrosse players in Texas, and I feel like my experience puts me in a good position to have a lot of wisdom to share with players of all ages.

About Me:
I played four years of NCAA division 2 lacrosse at the University of Mount Olive in Mount Olive, North Carolina. I was a key contributor throughout my career and spent my senior year as a starting midfielder, ending the year with the first Conference Carolinas championship in school history. I gained all conference and academic all conference honors in high school at Houston Christian High School. I have 13 years of experience playing the game at attack and midfield.
How I can help you improve your game:
Through my playing experience I have gained a lot of knowledge about the ins and outs of the game of lacrosse. I’m in a position to teach offensive players individual skills that will improve their game and make them more effective and successful players on the field. Whether you have just picked up a stick for the first time or have been playing lacrosse for multiple years, I will be able to help you refine and improve your skills in a way that will make you a better lacrosse player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session will look different depending on the client, but there is a basic framework that will be consistent. All players will start with a warmup that will work on fundamentals of the game. From there we will focus on what the player wants to improve in their individual game, and run through drills that improve that area from the ground up, starting from fundamentals all the way to simulating game scenarios. To finish out a training session I will give the player drills and a couple of specific skills that they can work on, on their own, to keep improving their game.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have coached players from 1st grade all the way through high school at various camps over the past few summers. I also have experience in individual private coaching teaching players fundamentals and more advanced skills.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Murphy at the University of Mount Olive was the best coach I ever had. The way he understood the game was unparalleled, and he did a great job of simplifying complicated concepts while managing a high level team.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have 13 years of playing experience and have been in love with the game of lacrosse ever since I began playing in fourth grade. I have a passion for teaching the next generation of lacrosse players whether that is a fourth grade kid that is picking up a stick for the first time or a high schooler preparing to play in college.

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.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
