Founder Best Foote Forward Lacrosse

Hey ALL-

I’m Crysti Foote and I am the founder of Best Foote Forward Lacrosse. I was born in a Mimico, Ontario Canada then moved to Suffern, New York in middle school. Lacrosse is deeply rooted in my family, my grandfather, dad, uncles, brother and sister all played and coached. I started playing box lacrosse, and switched to girls field when we moved to the USA.  I went to Suffern High School and played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse. I then went on to attend The University of Notre Dame and graduated with a Business degree.  My favorite memory was as a captain senior year, I helped our team go from 3-12 (my junior year) to our FIRST EVER final four appearances as a program.  I have played in 4 world cups for Team Canada, and played professionally for the Baltimore Ride.    

My coaching experience includes high school, club, youth and college. My experience includes coaching at Drew University, Columbia University, University of Notre Dame, University of Louisville, and University of Florida. 

I am currently the head coach at Regis Jesuit High School in Colorado and am the former Ridgewood High School, and Director of Urban Elite Lacrosse Club in Colorado. I left New jersey where I helped build their top lacrosse club in the country. Director of CLC (Centercourt Lacrosse Club) where I coached and helped navigate the recruiting process.

I am have also been a facilitator for Athletes Unlimited (professional lacrosse league), for the past 3 years. I am the current USA Assistant Box Lacrosse Coach, and I was the Head Coach of the USA Super 6’s Team that won Gold In Canada in 2023!

Best Foote Forward Lacrosse was created to help serve players and families by educating, and creating a pathway for their success. I help families navigate the recruiting process, and also create individualized player development plans.   I am passionate about helping educating families and players and preparing them for lacrosse and life!

When I’m not mentoring and training young female athletes and families, I can be found traveling, taking care of my dog Gator, or spending time with my family and friends.

If you’re frustrated and tired of investing your time, energy, and money traveling all over seeking to gain the most exposure and best possible training experience and are dying to know more about our services and community and receive my monthly newsletter “Putting your Best Foote Forward”

Can’t wait to get started helping you on your journey!
