David Fields
12U
I began my lacrosse journey in North Carolina, playing with both the Triad Youth Lacrosse Association (TYLA) and Western Guilford High School, where I was a 4-year varsity player. My collegiate career included 3 years of MCLA D1 lacrosse at East Carolina University and 2 years of MCLA D2 lacrosse at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where I served as a team captain.
I transitioned to coaching in 2009, starting with the Western Guilford High School JV team and moving to varsity in 2010. I also co-founded the Triad Blackhawks Club Lacrosse program and coached there for 2 seasons. After moving to Arizona, I have spent the past 7 years coaching lacrosse at all levels, from AYL 8U to High School Varsity.
Currently, I am the head coach of the T48 2030’s, a team proudly ranked nationally in the top 50. Lacrosse has been a significant part of my life, and I am passionate about giving back and developing the next generation of great lacrosse players.
