Our Coaches
Christy Clinton
Christy is our Executive Director and Head Coach. Christy was born and raised on Long Island New York where she started playing lacrosse in high school. She proceeded to play D1 college lacrosse at Marist College in Poughkeepsie NY and was their starting goalie for four years. She still holds a record at Marist for being a top 5 goalie with the most career saves!
After college, she became a special education teacher in Hawaii where she also helped bring lacrosse to the island of Oahu in 2002.
After leaving Hawaii, she landed in Washington state, where she coached Varsity lacrosse for two years and then continued to coach in the youth program once her oldest daughter was in elementary school.
“I tell my girls all the time, you could be the most talented club around and play dirty and no one would respect you. We want to compete at the highest level while earning the respect of our opponents. That’s what being a number one team and program is all about.”
What separates us from many programs is the heart that Christy pours into the girls. She not only invests in the girls to grow as lacrosse players, she truly wants them to be good humans and give back to the world around them. INTEGRITY. HEART. HUSTLE.
