Marleigh Bellefanti

Marleigh's lacrosse journey began in her home state of Georgia, where she spent a decade developing her skills and passion for the game. At Hillgrove High School, she became a standout attacker over four years on varsity, earning recognition as a two-time USA All-American and being named a USA Lacrosse Magazine Girls South Player of the Week. These honors reflected not just her talent, but her consistency and dedication to improving every time she stepped on the field.

Now competing at Kennesaw State University, Marleigh made an immediate impact in her freshman season, earning a spot on the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team. Her transition to collegiate lacrosse has given her valuable perspective on what it takes to compete at higher levels and how proper fundamentals make all the difference.

Marleigh brings coaching experience from her time working with Hillgrove High School, where she learned that breaking down skills to their most basic components helps players truly understand the game. Her coaching philosophy centers on building a strong foundation through repetition and attention to detail. She believes that when players master the fundamentals through high-rep training, they develop the muscle memory and confidence needed to perform consistently in game situations.

Whether working with beginners or more experienced players, Marleigh focuses on ensuring each athlete understands the "why" behind every drill and technique. Her approach helps players not only improve their stick skills and field awareness, but also gain the confidence to take their game to the next level.
