No coach has spent more time in the fold of GCU Club Sports than Jeff Guy.
Guy begins Year #15 with GCU Men’s Lacrosse, and his 7
th as head coach this time around. Guy’s first of three stints with the team began in 2007, when he joined the program as a grad assistant and defensive coordinator for two years, then went across town to spend the 2009-10 season as head coach of Chaparral High School in Scottsdale. GCU came calling a year later to give Guy his first college head coaching experience as the Lopes’ Head Coach for the 2010-11 campaign.
Guy then headed east to spend three years combined at Princeton University and the University of Dallas in Texas. Guy returned to the Lopes in 2015, serving as the Lopes’ Defensive Coordinator and GCU Club Sports Strength and Conditioning Coach for four years before ascending back to the head coaching role in 2019. Guy’s defense was crucial in leading the Lopes to the MCLA National Championship in both 2015 and 2017.
Guy served one season as an assistant at Princeton before becoming head men’s lacrosse coach at the University of Dallas for the 2013 and 2014 seasons. In his two seasons as head coach of the NCAA Division III program, he helped the Crusaders set school records in scoring and cumulative grade point average.
Guy has 20 years of coaching experience, beginning his coaching career with the Arizona Starz, a Phoenix-area high school all-star team in 2005. He spent three years there while also spending two years as Scottsdale’s Notre Dame Prep Academy – as an assistant in 2006, then the head coach the year after that. Guy dove right into coaching as soon as his college playing career was over – one that saw him a key role for Bridgton Academy’s 16-win season, then Springfield College’s 2002 conference title run before injuries ended his career at the University of Delaware.
The native of Salisbury, Connecticut was the owner and director of Accelerated Lacrosse, a company that offers skill development to youth and high school players in Arizona by offering travel select teams, clinics and camps, for three years. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist® (CSCS®) from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
Guy obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Behavior Management from the University of Delaware, while minoring in Coaching Science. He later earned a Master of Science degree in Leadership from Grand Canyon University.
