Coaching Philosophy: The Heads Up Lacrosse coaching staff is committed to high-level instruction, intense competition, commitment and hard work. Everyday, we teach, motivate and challenge players. At the end of the day, we judge our performance as coaches on 3 things: (1) Did we help the player develop, improve and succeed? (2) Did we respect, challenge and support them as lacrosse players and as young men? (3) Did we provide an experience that was fun, fair and positive? If the answer to all 3 is "yes", then we're on the right track.
