NoVa West Coaches (Girls)
Much like our boys' program, NoVa West will provide the most experienced
group of coaches that any summer lacrosse program in
Northern Virginia has to offer. One of our main missions is to make sure
that our players are instructed by people who are playing or
have played the game at the highest level, we feel that there is
nothing better for these players than to learn from coaches
that have learned the proper fundamentals and can pass these
fundamentals and advanced techniques on to every NoVa West
player. While Parents can sometimes make great coaches,
we do not have parents coaching in our organization as this
inevitably leads to political problems within teams.
