    Coach Molly has gone above and beyond to make sure my daughter made the right choice when picking a college and a team. She’s in her first season at Hood College and it’s been an amazing experience!

    She made me fall in love with the sport again. I wouldn’t be the person or lacrosse player I am without her. She is dedicated to the program and her players and makes sure you are doing well academically, mentally, and physically. Genuinely the best lacrosse coach I have ever had. She made my experience at Hood 100% better. I could not recommend a coach more if you want a supportive team atmosphere.

    DisorganizedPoor Communication

    Some people are not meant to be a coach ...and this coach is not one of them. She is a terrible communicator and completely disorganized. Her focus is her family and occasionally pays attention to her team. There is a complete lack of culture...the team is not a family but run by a group of mean girls that alienate the ones not in their inner circle. Girls are afraid to talk to coach because they are afraid of being punished especially if you are not a favorite. If you want your mental health destroyed, this is your program!

    DisorganizedPoor Communication

    Such a disappointing experience...watched the team get smaller. If you are a favorite you don't have to practice and you can play entire games. Holds different rules for different players. Rarely honest...it is sad to watch the same kids get excluded...watch so many kids get their mental health ruined. People quit and then when the numbers are so small she begs them back. Junior class of one says it all.
