    DisorganizedPoor Communication

    The most disrespectful, negative, fake, rude coach Ive ever met. She has a personality disorder, she has some sort of chemical imbalance. Curses, degrades and tries to be little players. She is an all around bad seed. Keep your child away from this spawn of the devil. ( thats being nice)

    Horrible person & coach. She has no boundaries. Tough in a bad way. She does things for attention. Always on a power trip. Worst coach ever. An embarrassment to the sport of lacrosse.

    Coach Oliver has high expectations for his athletes and if you’re underperforming he will let you know. Come in ready to work.

    Coach Karli Brentlinger was a horrible coach. She did not at all care about her players in anyway or their well being outside of the sport. She is very hard to reach. She had many inappropriate interactions with players that left people uncomfortable. She singled out players at practice instead of giving constructive criticism. Showed favoritism.
