Book Private Lacrosse Lessons with Coach Cate
As a goalie on the Villanova women's lacrosse team, I have an abundance of firsthand experience and a knowledge of not just the goalie position, but every aspect of the game of lacrosse. With lots of on field experience, I have the ability to teach the technical aspects of being a great lacrosse goalie. As the 2023 season “Family” award winner I also understand what is really important - being a great teammate and a hard worker. My high energy approach to coaching lacrosse is contagious and allows me to share my love for the game with every student I get to teach.

How I can help you improve your game:
Each goalie has their own, very unique perspective when it comes to lacrosse. The more players can see different perspectives and various ways to play, the more they can understand what they like for themselves as a goalie. I bring my own perspective along with a lot of knowledge and passion for the game which can help anyone improve their skills.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I typically start with some quick hand-eye coordination drills and then get into a full warmup. After that we will do different drills, depending on what the player wants to work on, mixed in with someone footwork. I always like to end with clears.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching for almost 5 years. I coached under former Rutgers head coach, Laura Brand-Sias, at Centercourt Lacrosse Club for 3 years. I have also coached under Jill Batcheller at every Villanova Lacrosse camp since the start of my time at Villanova.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had is Jill Batcheller and her staff, Kelsea Donnelly and Maddy Lesher. All three of them care so much about lacrosse and the success of our team while also investing in every player as a person. They are constantly pushing people to be their best selves on and off the field. I have grown tremendously as both a goalie and a person under their leadership.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am high energy and think that people play their best when they are having fun. While I will take your child and their goals very seriously, I will do so while making sure they are enjoying themselves.

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 determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
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!
