Our coaches
Our coaches are the heart of Defender athletics. They’re mentors and leaders who invest their time, energy, and passion into helping our athletes grow — not just in their sport, but as young people. Every coach brings their own background and style, and together they shape the culture that makes our programs thrive.
At ALA, our coaches model the RAISE values of Respect, Accountability, Integrity, Service, and Excellence. These principles guide how they teach, lead, and support our athletes, building confidence and character that lasts far beyond the season.
This page gives you a closer look at the people guiding our teams and inspiring every Defender to rise.
