Building confident, skilled lacrosse players one session at a time.
Hi, I'm Jada! I'm a current collegiate lacrosse player at Barry University and a former player at Maryville University, where I helped my team reach the National Championship game. I've played lacrosse since 3rd grade and competed at the club, high school, and college levels. For the past two years, I've also coached players from 2nd through 8th grade, helping them build skills, confidence, and a love for the game. My goal as a coach is to create a positive, challenging environment where athletes can improve their fundamentals, develop their lacrosse IQ, and gain confidence every time they step on the field. Whether you're new to the sport or want to take your game to the next level, I'm excited to help you reach your goals and enjoy the process!
As a current collegiate lacrosse player and experienced youth coach, I understand what it takes to develop at every level of the game. Whether you're just picking up a stick for the first time or looking to take your skills to the next level, I can provide personalized coaching tailored to your goals and position.
My training focuses on fundamentals, stick skills, shooting, dodging, defensive technique, lacrosse IQ, and overall confidence on the field. I believe the best players are built through strong fundamentals, consistent effort, and a positive mindset. During sessions, I create a supportive environment where athletes can ask questions, challenge themselves, and learn at their own pace.
Having played competitive club lacrosse, competed at the collegiate level, and coached players from 2nd through 8th grade, I know how to break down skills in a way that is easy to understand and apply in games. My goal is to help every athlete become a more confident, skilled, and knowledgeable player while fostering a love for the game that lasts beyond the field. Whether you're preparing for tryouts, club season, or simply looking to improve, I'm excited to help you reach your full potential.
Every training session is tailored to the athlete's age, skill level, and goals. We'll start with a quick warm-up and stick work to get comfortable and build good habits. From there, we'll focus on the specific skills you want to improve, whether that's passing and catching, shooting, dodging, defense, footwork, or overall lacrosse IQ.
I like to keep sessions fast-paced, positive, and challenging. You'll get plenty of repetitions, game-like drills, and individualized feedback so you can see improvement right away. Throughout the session, I'll explain not just what to do, but why it works, helping you become a smarter and more confident player.
We'll finish with competitive drills or situational game scenarios that allow you to apply what you've learned under pressure. My goal is for every athlete to leave each session feeling more skilled, more confident, and excited to keep improving their game.
I am a collegiate lacrosse player with over a decade of playing experience and two years of coaching experience. I began playing lacrosse in 3rd grade and started competing at the club level in 6th grade, developing my skills in New Jersey's highly competitive lacrosse community. Throughout my playing career, I have gained experience at the youth, club, high school, and collegiate levels, giving me a well-rounded understanding of the game and player development.

Over 10 years of competitive lacrosse experience
Played club lacrosse since 6th grade

As both a collegiate athlete and coach, I am committed to creating a positive, encouraging, and challenging environment where athletes can develop their skills and confidence. I believe every player learns differently, so I take the time to understand each athlete's goals and tailor my coaching to help them succeed. Whether your athlete is brand new to lacrosse or striving to compete at a higher level, I will meet them where they are and help them continue to grow.
Parents can expect me to be reliable, patient, and invested in their child's development both on and off the field. My coaching philosophy is centered on strong fundamentals, hard work, accountability, and having fun. As someone who has progressed from youth lacrosse in New Jersey to competing at the collegiate level, I understand the challenges athletes face and enjoy helping them navigate their own journey. My goal is not only to help players improve their lacrosse skills but also to build confidence, leadership, and a lasting love for the game.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
