Doug Corrigan
Lacrosse has been a huge part of Coach Corrigan’s life. Born in New Haven, Connecticut while his father was the coach at Yale, Coach Corrigan was surrounded by lacrosse from an early age. Three all American uncles, including Gene Corrigan, former head coach at W&L and UVA and George – who finished up his 7 decade spanning coaching career at 84 at Radnor High, helped introduce him to the sport.
A former defenseman and captain at UVA, Doug went on to coach around Philadelphia including stops at Villanova, Widener, Archmere, MAB Lacrosse club and West Chester Youth. Prior to the creation of the MLL pro league, the USCLA was the top league and Coach Corrigan played for the Philadelphia USCLA team (MAB) for 10 years with legends like Chris Flynn, Tony Resch, Zack Colburn, Tim Goldstein, Chris Bates and Scott Gabrielson, and then as a coach, won the USCLA Championship. Coach Corrigan has served twice (2014 and 2015) as an assistant coach for the Under Armour All American teams, most recently winning the underclass championship with the Philadelphia team. In addition, coach Corrigan served on the board of the US Lacrosse Foundation for three years and was a sideline coach at the 2004 US team tryouts.
Coach Corrigan lives in West Chester with his wife Kitty and his children Colin, Shane and Grace.
