Coaches |
The Philosophy of "mens sana in corpore sano" - "a healthy
mind in a healthy body" has long been a part of Prep
education. Preppers strive for excellence in athletics as
well as academics. In striving for success, the members of
the Prep coaching staff endeavor to instill the qualities of
leadership, loyalty, and sportsmanship. The student athlete
learns to cope with winning and losing - to be humble in
victory and proud in defeat.

Coach
Gregg enters his 4th season at the helm of the Prep Lacrosse
program. In 2011 under Gregg, Prep Lacrosse finished as the
Philadelphia Catholic League Champions, and for the first
time in program history reached the PIAA state championship
game. Since Gregg's arrival 21 student athletes have gone on
to play college lacrosse, 7 earned All State honors, and 2
have been named All Americans.
In
the summer of 2011 Gregg was appointed by United States
Lacrosse, the sport’s governing body, as an evaluator for
the 2012 United States Mens Under 19 lacrosse team. Gregg
has also served as a coach for the
Eastern Pennsylvania Scholastic Lacrosse Association All
Star Recruiting Showcase in 2009, 2010, and 2011 which
features the best sophomore and junior high school players
in Eastern Pennsylvania. Gregg and the Prep Lacrosse staff
were awarded the 2009 George A. Kruse Memorial Award for
Sportsmanship presented by the Greater Philadelphia Lacrosse
Officials Association.
Prior to his current stint at St. Joseph's, Gregg served as an assistant
boys lacrosse coach at the William Penn Charter School in
Philadelphia and Lower Merion High School in Ardmore.
As Coach and Co-Founder of Head Heart Hustle (HHH)
Lacrosse, Gregg provides private lacrosse training lessons
and team lacrosse training. HHH Lacrosse also operates a
U15 boy’s lacrosse team called Dukes HHH Lacrosse Club, in
partnership with Dukes Lacrosse Club.
Lacrosse, Education, Attitude, Perseverance, and
Success (LEAPS) was established as a 501 c 3 non-profit in
2008 by Gregg to spearhead the effort in the city of
Philadelphia to grow the sport of lacrosse. Since its
inception LEAPS has taught lacrosse to 15,000 youth and
counting in Philadelphia, Southern New Jersey, and
Wilmington Delaware. LEAPS also consults for school
districts looking to start lacrosse programs, including the
School District of Philadelphia, and Camden (NJ) City Public
Schools.
Ultimately, Gregg is a lifelong learner who aims to change young lives
the way his was by introducing lacrosse to kids who have yet
to see the game. Past coaches serve as inspiration and
constantly remind Eric that an attitude of gratitude is
paramount to success.
