Helping Every Athlete Find the Right Fit

At Coastal Lacrosse Club, we believe the recruiting journey is about much more than earning an offer—it's about finding the college and program where each athlete will thrive academically, athletically, and personally.

Our coaching staff is committed to educating families, providing honest guidance, and supporting athletes throughout every stage of the recruiting process. Whether your goal is NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, MCLA, or club lacrosse, we're here to help you identify the opportunities that best align with your aspirations.

Because every player's path is unique, our approach is built on relationships, communication, and individualized support—not one-size-fits-all advice.

Our Recruiting Philosophy

We Believe recruiting is a Journey, not a Destination!

We believe the recruiting process should never be driven by pressure or comparison.

Instead, we encourage athletes to focus on becoming the best version of themselves—both on and off the field. Strong academics, consistent skill development, leadership, character, and a positive attitude all play an important role in finding the right collegiate opportunity.

At Coastal, our coaches serve as mentors throughout the process by helping athletes:

  • Understand NCAA recruiting rules and timelines

  • Identify schools that align with their goals

  • Communicate professionally with college coaches

  • Develop recruiting materials and highlight videos

  • Evaluate opportunities honestly and realistically

  • Navigate important recruiting decisions with confidence

Our goal is simple:

Help every athlete find the college that's the best fit—not simply the highest level.


What Successful Recruiting Looks Like at Coastal

We don't define success by where you play. We define it by finding the place where you'll thrive.

Success means helping every athlete discover the path that's right for her.

For some athletes, that may mean competing at the NCAA Division I level. For others, it may be Division II, Division III, NAIA, junior college, or competitive club lacrosse. Every opportunity is worth celebrating when it aligns with an athlete's goals and creates the best overall college experience.

We measure success by helping athletes:

  • Find a college where they can thrive academically

  • Continue playing the sport they love

  • Grow as leaders and teammates

  • Graduate prepared for life beyond lacrosse

  • Build confidence throughout the recruiting process

Because the best recruiting stories don't all look the same.


Connect with Coaches Through IWLCA Recruits

Coastal Lacrosse Club is proud to partner with the IWLCA Recruits platform to help athletes showcase their academic and athletic accomplishments.

Our recruiting portal allows college coaches to learn more about Coastal athletes while giving families a valuable tool for creating recruiting profiles, sharing highlight videos, tracking communication, and exploring collegiate opportunities.

Whether you're just beginning your recruiting journey or actively communicating with college coaches, the IWLCA platform is an important resource in the process.


"Our success isn't measured by the number of commitments we post on social media. It's measured by helping every athlete find a college where she can thrive—as a student, as a player, and as a person.”
