School: Old Dominion, 1997

Position: Midfield

Coach Platz’s coaching experience includes two years at Mercyhurst University, one year at Gannon University, four years coaching youth and middle school, and the past three years as the Chardon High School varsity head coach. 

What Coach Platz loves about lacrosse: I love seeing things click for the girls and watching their faces light up when they know they have accomplished something. Travel lacrosse is so unique because the girls start to learn what a small and tightly knit community lacrosse is, and how much support they get from being part of it. There is nothing like helping a group of athletes learn from each other, help each other and truly become a team.
