Hi! My name is Seth Beccard and I’m coaching our new 6U team and serving as the 8U team manager this year. I have 2 daughters in the lacrosse program - Noelle, 8 and Sloane, 6 - and a two-year old Chloe who will be leading the cheerleading effort for her sisters! I’m excited to help teach the girls lacrosse fundamentals and love of the game this year!

Hello! My name is Hayley Savat and am SO excited to be helping Seth and team coach our inaugural 6U season.  I've coached lacrosse since 2012, mostly at the high school level, with some post-collegiate and youth teams mixed in as well. My all-time favorite memories are witnessing the moments when it starts to really click for a team. Whether it's a first successful pass between two 8U players, or a beautifully executed full field transition into an overtime goal at high school.  My primary goal as coach is to make sure each player, regardless of if they continue playing lacrosse or not, has a positive experience with a team sport, filled with some awesome core memories with their teammates.

Hi! My name is Sam Kuehn and this is my 3rd year coaching Girls 8U. I am originally from Columbus, OH where I played D1 varsity lacrosse for my hometown of Upper Arlington, following a year playing club for the University of Kentucky. I love coaching 8U because my background is early learning childhood development. I currently teach at St. Louis Park Early Learning program as a 4’s paraprofessional. I have 3 kids, Carter (13), K.C. (8), and Lily (5), all who play within the association. My goal this year is to teach the girls basic fundamentals and skill while learning to love the game!

Kevin is excited to be a member of the SLP Lacrosse program, actually as a boomerang after spending 3 years coaching the boy's high school team as assistant/head JV coach from 2014-2017.  He played lacrosse at the University of Minnesota for 4 years as a midfielder.  He was team captain and team president during his tenure (also played with fellow SLP coach, Kurtis Muchow).  He is excited to learn more about the girls game and rules.  His daughter, Emilia, is on the 8U team and has been playing lacrosse now for 3 years.

Coach Ally is in her third year of coaching 10U at St. Louis Park. She started playing lacrosse in middle school for various teams within Dakota County before Farmington had a sanctioned team of their own. Ally continued to play lacrosse through college for Iowa State University's D1 Club Team where they attended Nationals two years in a row. Off the lacrosse field, Ally works as a Financial Analyst within the Consumer Packaged Goods Industry and enjoys traveling to National Parks, being outside in all the seasons Minnesota has to offer, and going to weekly trivia with friends.

Hi! My name is Madeline Anklam and I'm a senior on the high school girl's varsity lacrosse team this year. This is my second year coaching youth lacrosse and I'm so excited to be involved! I've been playing lacrosse for about 8 years, mostly as an attacker and midfielder. I've made so many friends and great memories through this program and I hope to make this season a great experience for all of your daughters! When I'm not playing lacrosse, I'll probably be playing tennis (I'm also on the high school tennis team!), eating Punch Pizza by the lake or watching movies with friends. I'm really looking forward to this season!

Hi! My name is Norah Robertson and I'm a senior on the SLP Girls Lacrosse Team! This is my third year as a high school coach and I'm so so excited for this next season! I've been playing lacrosse since 8th grade. My favorite position is defense. I have experience coaching 8U and 10U and have loved to see the girls progress and success as they move through levels. I love the Saint Louis Park Lacrosse community and am so lucky to be a part of the coaching staff! 

Coach Ari & Coach Mac return for their 12th year coaching 12U together with St. Louis Park Youth Lacrosse. Their love for lacrosse started while they were playing for the Orioles High School team and has continued ever since, including playing in college, in post-collegiate teams, and of course through coaching. Mac and Ari enjoy coaching not only because they help grow the love of the sport but they also get to help teach critical skills on and off the field including leadership, communication, conflict resolution, critical thinking and so much more. Mac and Ari are so proud of the players they’ve gotten to coach over the years and their favorite non-coaching spring tradition is attending the SLP-Hopkins Varsity Lacrosse game where they get to cheer on over 20 players across both teams. When not on the sidelines, you can often find Ari and Mac outdoors with their dogs (Bart, Pete & Hugo). And on occasion, Mac and Ari aren’t together, like during the workday when you can find Mac at General Mills and Ari at Target HQ. 

Hi Everyone! My Name is Ashley and I am super excited to be the 12U assistant coach in the spring and the head coach in the summer! I coached the 10U team for the past two years and I am super excited to roll up with a lot of my girls and also get to see some new faces! I have played lacrosse for 8 or 9 years (it's hard to keep track after a while haha!) and I started in this youth program with Ari and Mac as my coaches! I am a senior and I play defense for the High School Varsity team but I have played all positions throughout my career in the youth association and while in club lacrosse! I am a 2 time captain and a 3 time letterer and I don't want lacrosse to end so I intend to play club lacrosse next year while attending the U of M - Twin Cities. I am always willing to answer questions about the youth teams, high school team, club teams, and college so feel free to ask away!! Go Park!

I'm so excited to come back to coach 12U after a super fun season coaching Fall Ball last year! I grew up in Park myself and love that I now get to coach my daughter Charlee and her friends here in SLP.  Looking forward to an awesome season of growth and fun!

I'm a former lacrosse goalie who played at the University of Minnesota and fell in love with the sport there. I recently coached the Blake High School Boys teams from 2017 - 2022. My favorite lacrosse moments are any time I get to watch my daughter Payton (11) and son Kaden (9) play. I'm looking forward to working with the 12U girls team this summer and making sure they have a fun and memorable experience!

Hi Players and Families! My name is Meg Ridgway, and I will be a Head Coach of the 14U Summer Team! This will be my fourth year coaching for the association, and I am SO excited to come back and coach this summer! I have been playing lacrosse for over 10 years now, and it is still my favorite thing to do. I graduated last spring from SLP, and I am currently a freshman at Malone University in Ohio, playing in my first D2 collegiate season! Besides playing lacrosse, I love to spend time with friends and family, be outside in any way possible, and try new restaurants. I am looking forward to seeing every new and familiar face this summer, and pushing our team to be their absolute best. Go Park!!
