AFA Lacrosse adds a Goalie Coach

AFA Lacrosse recognizes the need for position specific training for our athletes. For that reason we have added Coach Haley Whitfield as a goalie specialist. Haley is the starting goalie for Meredith College Lacrosse. Her skill as a goalie shows in her stats where she let up the 3rd least amount of goals in the nation in the D3 division. We are excited to have Haley working with all seven of our goalies this season!

AFALAX adds Coach Sarah Arbes as Speed, Conditioning, and Draw Coach

AFA Lacrosse is thrilled to announce the addition of Coach Sarah Arbes to our fall coaching staff. Coach Sarah is a Meredith College lacrosse player and an Exercise and Sport science student. Coach Sarah is also the draw specialist for Meredith College lacrosse. Sarah's draw unit finished third in the COUNTRY with Sarah at center mid! Sarah also helped lead the Meredith D3 defense to third in the nation in least goals given up. 

Spring Rec Lacrosse with AFA

AFALAX will be offering spring rec in 2019 for all of our youth through middle school athletes as ALPHA LAX.
