Get to know Matt
You should train with me because playing defense at the University of Delaware I am learning countless high level skills that I am eager to share with the younger generation. I am heading into my junior year there and I will try my hardest to teach you all I know about the skills and mindset you need to elevate your game to the next level.
How I can help you improve
They way that I will help you improve your game is that I will be constantly assessing what you are doing wrong or right and why you are doing it that way. Lacrosse is a very technical sport, so you have to watch every little move and make sure you build that muscle memory over time.
A typical training session
A typical training session with me would highly vary on what stage of the game you are playing at and what your skill level is. I believe that if everyone needs something different to improve their game so it will change from athlete to athlete
Career & accomplishments
At the University of Delaware I have coached at many of our prospect days and doing this allowed me to fall in love with helping the younger guys gain more knowledge and become the best player that they are able to be.
Best coach I ever had
My best coach I have ever had was my Bayard Rustin Hugh School coach, coach St. Claire. He pushed our whole team to the limit while bonding us together so we could never be broken. His coaching still plays a roll in how I play the game of lacrosse.
What athletes & parents should know
What you guys should know about me is that I am truly there to give my everything in order to get you better in all aspects of the game. Not just the footwork or the approaches, but the flow of the game and how to play along with it

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?
AU was created by former college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
