one of the top 25 players to graduate from the Virginia Tech D1 program.
Coach Coffin began her coaching career at Ft.Hunt in 2000 when she took her G78 team to win
the championship. (It still remains the highlight of her entire lacrosse career). From there, she
became the Head Varsity Lacrosse Coach at Bishop Ireton, where she led the successful team
for 6 years until her first son was born. Three children later, she jumped back into the
coaching world in 2015 and began her 8 year+ commitment at SCAA. Coach Coffin is currently
the chairman of SCAA, which oversees 11 sports and is also the Lacrosse Commissioner and a
Head Coach. Outside of lacrosse, she spends her time with her family in Mason Neck, Virginia.

According to Coach Coffin, playing the sport of lacrosse has been instrumental in her life and
she attributes her successes to not only her family, but learning how to work together as a
team. Learning to win, loose, to set and accomplish goals, to fall short of goals, and to keep
waking up each morning with purpose and never giving up is the cornerstone to a successful
life; being a youth coach is a title she holds with great pride.
