Shay Ventresca

Coach Shay Ventresca is excited to join the Team CT family this summer! Shay played collegiate lacrosse at both the Division I and Division III levels. She earned her degree in Sports and Leisure Management from Eastern Connecticut State University, where she was a two-time All-Conference attacker for the Warriors. After graduating from ECSU, Shay went on to earn her Master of Science in Athletic Training and is currently the Director of Sports Medicine at Mitchell College.  Shay is also a CWLOA-certified official and has experience officiating at the youth, high school, and collegiate levels. Her unique background as a player, athletic trainer, certified strength and conditioning specialist, and official gives her a well-rounded perspective on the game and athlete development. Shay is passionate about helping athletes build confidence, improve their lacrosse IQ, and develop the strength, speed, and movement skills necessary to succeed both on and off the field. She believes in developing complete athletes, not just lacrosse players, and looks forward to sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with Team CT athletes this summer.
