Meet Coach Jill!

I started coaching back in 2004 at Minnetonka as the Junior Varsity coach. In 2008, I started club lacrosse in St. Michael and we became a sanctioned sport in 2011. I resigned from the head coach position in following our 2021 season and decided I missed it too much and returned to the team in the spring of 2024.

I was a 3-sport athlete growing up and I loved being involved in sports. I enjoyed competing and developing relationships with my teammates. Throughout my years of playing high school and collegiate sports, I had some really great coaches, as well as some not so great coaches. I have used that experience to help shape who I am as a coach so that I can share my love of sports and passion for the game with those that I coach. My WHY is to provide opportunities for student-athletes to experience the many benefits that team sports have to offer including teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship among many others.

When asked why Pipeline, Jill said:
I was super impressed with the quality and quantity of the practices when I would observe my own daughter in her summer sessions as well as evaluations. Crandall and his staff clearly have a passion for lacrosse as well as growing the sport here in Minnesota. Most importantly, the enjoyment from coaches and players was evident. This is one of the main reasons I feel that this club is where players want to be when choosing a program to further their skills.

Fun fact about Jill: She loves to travel!
