Dana Emery- Mother of Rob (Virginia) and Matt (SI HS)
“Over the past 18 months, our sons Rob and Matt began working with Tim Booth in one hour private sessions. Tim improved their shooting mechanics, taught them the proper way to warm up for a game or practice ( a mini workout in and of itself!) and even suited up against them to teach them dodging and stick protection skills. This helped them experience the intense defensive pressure they will face at the D1 level. Rob worked out with Tim extensively over his winter break to prepare for his first season of college lacrosse. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim to any players that want to bring their game to the next level.”
Mark Blake, Ross Valley Lacrosse U15A Coach
“I have been around lacrosse my entire life and Tim Booth is by far the best instructor I have ever been around. Tim breaks down complex skills into understandable pieces during his lessons. Over a few lessons all the pieces add back up to make a much better lacrosse player. From all of the teams I get to watch, the players who have worked with Tim consistently have the best lacrosse skills on the field.”
Thomas Mattimore, father of Tommy (Dartmouth), Billy (Bucknell) and Tess (St. Ignatius HS).
“Tim Booth has worked with 3 of my children over the last few years and has done an excellent job. Two of them play in college and the other one plays varsity high school. Tim works them hard and has taught them a lot over the years. He is particularly good at technique. He is meticulous when it comes to honing fundamentals and is a real stickler for detail. When your child works with Tim, they get his undivided attention for the full amount of time. In addition to his vast knowledge of lacrosse, he will help them on things like running, cutting, balance and other fundamental athletic necessities. I highly recommend Tim as a coach.”
Nick Dupuis, Ross Valley U13
“I started Tim Booth sessions about six months ago. I have enjoyed learning about the techniques from the highest level. When I started I thought I was a good player right now I feel like I have gotten so much better. I think that Tim is a great teacher but I also think he is a great person. I have learned something new from each session I go to. The most important thing I think I have learned is technique of a shot. I most of all like the different drills that Tim offers during his sessions it goes from simple 2 on 3 ground balls to complex dodging drills. I feel like the bay area is extremely lucky to have Tim Booth as a youth lacrosse instructor.”
Mike Lateef, parent and coach, Ross Valley Lacrosse Club
“Working with Tim Booth has been a wonderful and productive experience for my son. The improvement in his fundamental skills-catching, throwing and dodging, have been dramatic. This year he has taken the field with a real sense of confidence. Tim has found a way to teach technically sound lacrosse in a fun environment!”
Rina Gibbons, Mother of Johno (St Ignatius HS)
“Tim Booth is a perfect example of an excellent lacrosse coach and a role model for our son. Tim’s one-on-onesessions are extremely instructive and have made a huge difference in the lacrosse skills, understanding and approach to the game for our varsity high school player. Most importantly, Tim models good sportsmanship. integrity, accountability and excellent character for all his lacrosse players as he helps them take their games to the next level!!!”
Tyler Simmons, Redwood Alum, Hobart College’13
“I started working with Tim my junior year of high school and now after 3 years and about 50 lessons later Tim has elevated my game to the D1 level where I was able to contribute on the field as a freshman. I’ve been too many camps and have had many great club coaches and Tim is by far the best coach because the way he explains everything in such detail so its easy to understand and apply it while playing, instead of just showing you how to do it with no explanation of how or why. Tim is not only a great lacrosse coach but he’ll also teach you how to act off the field as well.”
John B. Myers, Parent, Ross Valley Lacrosse Club
“Tim helped refine the skills of both of our sons, Jackson and Will, immeasurably. They developed an understanding of the nuances of the game and individual skills that they never would have otherwise developed in a team or camp setting.”
Austin Cunningham, Ross Valley, U15
“Training with Tim has changed my skill level from one of the weaker players on my team to one of the best.
Sandy Heneghan, Parent, Archbishop Mitty High School
“I was a competitive swimmer and coach for years and have seen a wide range of coaches and their abilities. Tim Booth is by far one of the best instructors I have ever been around not only for lacrosse but all sports. Tim is able to breakdown all aspects of lacrosse and teach very detailed lessons in an easily understood manner.”
