Private Lessons & Coaches in Puyallup, WA

With over a decade of playing and coaching experience across the U.S. and internationally, I help players build confidence by empowering creativity, encouraging personal growth off the field, and deepening their love for the game. As a two-time CIF champion at Loyola High School and a starting attackman and captain at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, I’ve competed at a high level and understand what it takes to lead, adapt, and elevate team culture. After earning my degree in Mechanical Engineering, I played and coached for Chadstone Lacrosse Club in Melbourne, Australia—working with athletes ranging from youth players to seasoned adults. Now based in Los Angeles, I coach K–8th grade with the Westchester Lions and volunteer with Harlem Lacrosse in Compton. My player-first approach emphasizes game-relevant, constraint-led training that mirrors live-action scenarios, focusing on decision-making, adaptability, and creativity rather than repetitive drills. Whether you're new to the sport or preparing for the next level, I’m passionate about helping players develop their skills, and find the joy that I have for lacrosse in the process.

"Yucheng’s guitar skills are simply amazing. I’ve actually been playing guitar for a long time and have earned the Trinity Guitar Grade 7 certificate, so I considered myself an advanced guitarist—until I met Yucheng. He showed me that the pentatonic scale and harmonic minor scale hold infinite possibilities! I highly recommend him. Even if you already have solid skills on the guitar, you will still learn something new from Yucheng.
