Coach Callie has transformed my game from basic and technical to dynamic and flexible. I am a goalie and she was very proactive in reaching out to different coaches who specialize in the goalie position for specific feedback. She was then amazing with keeping me accountable with the critiques they were able to give me through her social media platform. She has incredible knowledge of the game and helps me learn from a shooters perspective which has elevated my game incredibly. She is extremely passionate and pushes me in the best ways to reach my full potential!

I started working with Coach Callie one year ago and I can’t imagine where I would be today without her help. I am a defender and before working with Callie, I didn’t realize how many different foot and stick work combinations can be created. My goal has always been to improve my individual game. It is important for me to be the best that I can be for my team and through my sessions with Callie, I have gotten so much better. Whether it was working with Callie privately or in a group I always learned so much.

I have been training with Callie regularly for over three years now and I still learn something new each time! I’m always excited for my sessions with her, whether it’s 1:1 or with a small group. She is always so encouraging and has been a huge part of my growth on and off the field. I feel confident when I finish training and love watching the videos she will send of me after.

I started working with Coach Callie last year. I started working with her so I could get better on dodges and shot place ment. As a attacker I have gotten so much better with her, I can tell that I have improved on it and other people have noticed too. I couldn't thank her enough for helping me get better. I can't wait till I see her again, and I will always do these clinics.

I started Callie’s private sessions 1 or 2 years ago and I have gotten so much better since. These sessions give me the opportunity to work on my individual skill so when I go to team practices or games, I am the best I can be. I look forward to every time I get to work with her because I always have so much fun and I leave knowing I worked really hard and improved with a top level coach helping me.

I first approached Callie during the start of the pandemic because she coached me in one game and I instantly fell in love with her coaching style and personality. It has only gone up from there. I started working with Callie in my front yard and now her business has helped so many other female lacrosse players improve their skills and IQ. Callie is not only my coach but she is my admired friend and I know others feel that way too. If it was not for Callie, I would not be the player and person I am today. Thank you Callie.

American Commit
I started training with Callie about a year after picking up lacrosse. Training with Callie strengthened the basic, fundamental skills, while challenging my stick skills and learning new things every session. Callie gave me the extra support I needed as a new player and continues to push me every single session. Working with Callie has not only improved my stick handling, footwork, shooting, and speed, but it has also grown my confidence which will allow me to showcase those skills on the field. I’m excited to translate this training onto the field in upcoming club and high school seasons.

I started doing sessions with Callie about 3 years ago and improved significantly. I've overall became a much faster and more confident player going towards goal with the help of her drills. Working with Callie is such a positive experience and I always feel valued as a player when working with her. Her feedback is always consistent and delivered in a positive and clear way. Every drill that I do with her is thoroughly planned and helps me to work on a variety of challenging, creative, and fun skills. I credit a lot of my improvement to her drills and overall kind and patient attitude when working with me and others.

Coach Callie has helped my shooting so much, but she’s also made me believe in myself more. She’s always cheering me on, even if I make a mistake, and she makes me feel like I can try anything. I love how she lets us be creative and try new moves, and I play with so much more confidence because of her.

Callie has been the best coach that I have worked with while I have been playing lacrosse. She helps me work towards my goals and pushes me to be my best. Callie always does her best to help me work on my weaknesses and makes sure I understand something before moving on. Even when I am not able to be with Callie in person she gives me virtual lessons and her drill plans to help me become a better lacrosse player. She strives to work with me individually so that I can be the best for my team. Callie is the person I always look up to and am always excited to see no matter what! She is the most uplifting human and always puts the players first. Callie has helped me gain so much confidence while playing lacrosse and has helped me step up to the next level.

UVM Commit
Deciding to start working with Callie at the start of the summer is one of the best decisions I have made as a lacrosse player. Callie’s positive attitude and reinforcement made me excited for our sessions every week. Even when the drills were difficult, they pushed me to be a better, more skilled and more confident player. During my tournaments throughout the summer, I started noticing the improvements in my stick skills, footwork, and shot. This is all because of the dynamic drills that I did during my sessions with Callie. I can’t wait to use what I’ve learned with Callie during my upcoming club and high school lacrosse seasons!

Working with Callie is the highlight of my summer. In our small groups I get to learn so much more. Callie is fun and her energy makes me want to work harder and try new things. I look forward to every session with Coach Callie!

2028 Midfielder
I have done a lot of trainings, camps and clinics to improve. After seeing Callie’s training videos on Instagram, I knew that all those trainings I was doing weren’t helping me with the footwork and movements I really wanted to learn. Only problem was I lived 300 miles away! Callie worked with my family to figure out a way I could train not once, but twice with her this summer and it was the best. She is so positive and encouraging but at the same time gave me the feedback I needed to be better. I’ve been playing club lax since I was a little kid and she is the best offensive coach I ever had. Now I look at training and game videos of myself and I can’t believe the skills I can do. I’m getting the chance now to teach my teammates everything I learned!

And as if that wasn't enough, within 24 hours, she sends practice video with additional insights that allow my daughter to see her progress and work on areas for growth.

After a few weekly sessions with Coach Callie, my daughters were noticeably stronger, faster and more confident! This is exactly what they needed to take their game to the next level. Coach Callie's positivity and energy is contagious and she infuses this spirit into her drills with players. My girls walked away from each session with new strategies and challenges to practice but also with a renewed excitement and enthusiasm for the game of lacrosse.

My daughter Brianna has been playing lacrosse since the second grade. She has played in town leagues and a club league. Through her work with Callie in group settings as well as individual private lessons, she has elevated her game exponentially. Brianna‘s stickhandling, shooting ability, and overall strategic movement has improved since working with Callie. I would recommend Coach Callie to anyone who’s looking to have their daughter improve her game.

The training my daughter has received from Coach Callie has been nothing short of transformative. We saw her go from a player with solid stick skills to a standout player who has mastered dodges, a more precise shot, and using her non-dominant hand, corrected form, and better game IQ. The improvement we’ve seen thanks to Callie’s training has been astonishing.

Parent of a 2027 & 2024
Coach Callie has added so much to the lives of our daughters that goes well beyond sport. Most importantly, she has fostered a sense of self confidence sprinkled with a little bit of humility. Because of her, my two daughters take risks, try new skills, analyze plays, and self teach. They believe they can and they do with grit and determination. This confidence carries off the field too into their academics and other extra- curricular activities. Callie is just what young girls need today- a positive spirit, genuine care and concern, and the ultimate role model. Thank you Coach Callie!
