Book Lessons with Coach Jordan
Hey, my name is Jordan Hayes. I played all 4 years during my time at Towson University where I played in 2 CAA Championship games. After graduating from Towson, I transferred to St. Johns to join their varsity team leading them to 4 wins after a 0 win season. I was coached by defensive coach Steve Grossi at Towson and learned the best defensive drills for footwork, groundballs, and physical defense. Come train with me to learn the grit and aggressiveness that runs through the legendary Towson team.

How I can help you improve your game:
The best way that any player can improve their game is stick work and footwork. I have experience with college-level stickwork and footwork drills from the best Division-1 coaches in the country.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Start with stick work and footwork so the basics and fundamentals of lacrosse are honed and improved every training session. My training session is fast-paced but planned so the player gets conditioning as well as important drills done. Each week is built on the other so the important skills are built on and improved every time.

Best coach I ever had:
Shawn Nadelen is the best coach I've ever had. He raised the standard that I held myself to the highest level that a man should hold themselves to. Our standards at Towson were Accountability, Compete, and Toughness. Standards that I still hold myself to. He was able to bring out the best in all his players while still being a family man and showing the team his love and respect. His tenacity was spread throughout his whole team and was evident in the passion that we played with.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a grinder and a hard worker. I want the best for each kid I train and will teach them the important fundamentals that will stick with them forever. I care for people but also am a fierce competitor. I really just want the best for every kid I train and tailor the training specific to them

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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?

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 + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
