Coach's Description

We believe in empowering our student-athletes to live a biblically defined and directed life long after they step off the field for the last time. We help girls become passionate and purpose-driven women under the guise of chasing a yellow ball. This begins by recruiting passionate people for Palm Beach Atlantic. We desire high-character young women of faith that are excited to find their purpose both on and off the field. Our mission is to encourage the gifts that lay inside of them by our Creator. This is the Creator’s Game, after all. Please visit www.pbasailfish.com/wlaxrecruits to learn more about playing lacrosse at Palm Beach Atlantic University. –– The decision to play at any university goes far beyond academics and athletics. You are choosing forever friends; the people who will stand with you in life's toughest moments, life's most exciting moments, and everywhere in between. Your teammates here won't just be on your sideline for four years, but they'll be on your sideline for life. –– Investing in You: As coaches, we believe in pushing you as a player and person. On-field results are great, but who you become off the field is that much more important. –– Our Sailfish Brand of Lacrosse: Between the lines, we play fast. We push transition. We play aggressive defense. We have one of the highest-efficiency offenses in the country. You'll love playing in our system because fast is fun and lacrosse should always be fun.

Team Road Trips

The Sailfish primarily travel within the state of Florida for away games.
