Disorganized, turns team against each other. Doesn’t develop players or give opportunities

As a parent, this season was extremely disappointing. Be clear, this was not a rebuilding team , it was a strong, competitive group that had the ability to succeed, even at the Division I level in the NEC, if coached and positioned correctly. Instead, there was a clear lack of leadership and coaching ability. There didn’t seem to be a real understanding of the team’s strengths, no meaningful adjustments, and no plan to put players in a position to win. Beyond performance, there were also instances of inappropriate questions or interactions that made players uncomfortable, which is unacceptable. What’s most concerning is the overall impact, a strong, winning team was handed over and ended the season regressing across the board, from results to confidence and mental well-being. Student-athletes deserve leadership that supports both their development and their experience, and this season fell far short of that.

The women’s lacrosse program at the University of New Haven has suffered greatly under the current Head Coach. Key issues include poor leadership, inconsistent communication, and a lack of player development. Practices feel childish, expectations are unclear, and decisions lack transparency, leading to frustration and low team morale. The recent coaching transition further eroded trust. Administration told players they would have a voice in the process, but that promise was not kept. The Athletic Director made the decision independently and informed the team via email. There are also concerns about the team environment. The coach has reportedly used vulgar language toward players, and there appears to be little ability to adjust strategy during games. Overall, the program does foster the growth and confidence expected at the college level.

The women’s lacrosse program at University of New Haven is heading in a concerning direction under the current coaching staff. The biggest issues are leadership, communication, and player development. Practices feel disorganized, expectations are unclear, and communication is inconsistent. Decisions don’t always seem transparent, which has created frustration and low morale within the team. Most importantly, the environment does not seem to support or develop the players the way a college program should. Instead of building confidence and growth, it appears to be doing the opposite. As a parent, this is difficult. My daughter loves New Haven and wants to stay, but with multiple years ahead of her, it’s hard to feel confident about her future in this program as it currently stands. If you’re considering this program, I strongly recommend speaking directly with current and former players to understand the full experience.

Coach Kit has been an absolute disappointment for a very talented group of young women. As the top leader of the program she should be setting a caring and safe culture for her team to thrive in. Instead, she has continuously tried to divide the team. Literally breaking them up into a “bad” group and a “good” group after a long day of scrimmaging. She is not knowledgeable about the sport and has zero compassion for her players. Players that once loved to play, now are second guessing their decision to stick with it. Kit has tried to put teammates against each other, but has repeatedly failed. Literally ruining the dream that most of these young women have had since they were little girls. Someone at the school should have checked in on this team. Their mental health is at stake.
