"Lisa was a world class field hockey player who is a passionate, lifelong student of the game. She conveys that knowledge and experience to young athletes thoughtfully and thoroughly in both team and private settings. Your daughter will improve her game and skills under Lisa’s coaching and most importantly have fun doing it!"
- Kevin, whose daughter, K, was coached by Coach Lisa last year. She is now a member at a major Division 1 field hockey program.
"Lisa has been an invaluable resource to me over the last five years as a coach. She has an amazing ability to help you analyze your team at a micro skills level and a macro game sense level. She also is incredibly knowledgeable about the social/emotional aspect of coaching, and how to tailor coaching to different ages, abilities, and mentalities. I cannot emphasize enough how much her mentorship has positively impacted my coaching and helped me grow and highly recommend her to any coach looking to improve both their technical knowledge and their coaching philosophies."
- Heather Joyce, Head Field Hockey Coach, Westwood High. "State Champion" and "Coach of the Year"
"Over the last 10 years, I have had the privilege of playing and coaching field hockey with Lisa Cropper. I have even had the opportunity to be coached by her, as she believed in me and brought me on as part of her coaching staff at King Philip High School. She showed me the ropes and made me into the coach I am today. Lisa is the most knowledgeable person on field hockey that I have ever met and she has a gift to be able to pass that on to all of the kids in her program. Everyone she coaches is able to excel on the field and be the best player they can be."
- Kaitlyn Coughlin-Junior Varsity Coach at King Philip High School
"Coach Lisa Cropper has shaped me into the player I am today. Beginning field hockey my freshman year of high school, she was the first coach who believed in me and saw my potential as a first-time player. Now, as a freshman in college at Lasell University and a starter on the field hockey team here, I can confidently say I am who I am because of Coach Cropper’s guidance. She recognizes her player’s natural strengths and helps them expand their skills and knowledge of the game. I learned how to be a talented and confident field hockey player under her leadership, rather than just being good at one position on the field. I am more well-rounded, more knowledgeable, and a better athlete overall after being coached and trained by Lisa Cropper."

"I have had the pleasure of coaching club field hockey with Coach Lisa Cropper for the past 4 years. Lisa’s reputation speaks for itself, but it’s what you won’t find on her playing and coaching resume that is even more impressive. Lisa has such an in-depth understanding of the game and tremendous experience. She is able to analyze individual player skills and identify adjustments with ease. Working with players directly so that they understand and implement these adjustments, such as grip, body/ball positioning, and stick-work often enhances a player's skills and ability to contribute their team's success. Lisa is positive, energetic, skilled, and overall, a fantastic coach."
Beth Kelly, Coach, Patriot Field Hockey Club
My 7 years working on Lisa's field hockey staff at Franklin High allowed me to observe her ability and success with raising the skill level of each one of her players, through her extensive knowledge and enthusiasm. She's just a great teacher of the sport!
