Austin Speni is the founder and owner of Quick Stick Lacrosse and the Team Quick Stick Lacrosse Program. Originally from Summit, New Jersey, Austin played his high school lacrosse at The Lawrenceville School (Lawrenceville, NJ) and his college lacrosse at St. Lawrence University (Canton, NY). He is the third year head coach of St. Paulʼs School (Covington, La) where he has grown the program to over one hundred players, making it one of the largest programs in the state.

“I believe in the fundamentals of the game. I teach players to understand the basics of the game in very simple systems. This game is fast, too fast to not have a solid understanding of scooping, passing, catching, shooting, and foot work.”

In the summer of 2010, Team Quick Stick became the first Elite team to pull players from all over the state and compete at the national level in Atlanta, Houston, and Charlotte. This year the program is expanding to the U13 and U15 age groups. The teams are chosen through a one day tryout. The purpose is to travel throughout the southeast to play club teams from all over the country.

The Quick Stick Lacrosse retail store is located in downtown Covington, Louisiana and is a licensed retailer of Maverik, Champion, Shock Doctor, and Team Quick Stick custom apparel.
