Girls Lacrosse
Program Philosophy
Lacrosse is a sport that takes immense athletic ability as well as mental toughness. Our program seeks to attract athletes who have played before, but also those who are willing to learn the game. The coaching staff strives to create a competitive, but positive environment for our student athletes. We focus on teamwork and character development along with building skills for lacrosse.
Girls lacrosse offer two levels of play - varsity and JV. The team practices and plays their home games at nearby Montlake Playfield.
PROGRAM HEAD
Seattle Prep is excited to introduce Ashley Hemmen as the newest Program Head of Girls Lacrosse. Hemmen will be stepping back onto the lacrosse field for the first time since relocating to the Seattle area for work in 2020. Prior to that move, and a break to complete her MBA from University of Colorado, Boulder, she spent several years as a highly successful girls lacrosse coach in the greater San Francisco area, including at her alma mater, Carondelet High School, a Catholic School in Concord, California. While an assistant at Carondelet, Hemmen helped the Cougars to three North Coast Section Championships in five years and a #1 ranking in the Western United States in 2013. Hemmen played collegiate lacrosse at California Polytechnic State University where she was named to the US National All-Tournament team in 2009.
