Coach Canton was a goalie for both soccer and lacrosse at Moorestown High School and was a member of Moorestown’s first Men’s lacrosse team in 1994. He went to the University of Richmond…before they had a lacrosse team! In his early 20’s the Moorestown Varsity Coach, Val Curran, asked him to return to the Moorestown Lacrosse Club and give back to the game. He coached Moorestown’s 6 th grade A team in the SEPYLA league for 4 years, from 2002-2006, right up until his first son was born in 2007. He fell in love with coaching the game over those four years. He took a few years off from coaching, while his oldest was very young, but then returned to the game in 2012. He has spent time coaching all three of his sons, in both Club (with Moorestown Club, the 2027 Jersey Express team, and now with the 2031 Jersey Express team) and Town lacrosse. He oversaw the Boys side of the Moorestown Lacrosse Club for 3 years. In 2021, he founded Breakaway Box Lacrosse, a Winter box league open to players from 3rd grade through High School. His coaching philosophy is to always look for ways to help players develop their game, whether its skill based, lacrosse IQ, maximizing effort, being accountable, being a good teammate, or sportsmanship. All are paramount to success as both a player and as a person. He believes in developing young men to be successful lacrosse players who can take what they learn on the field and apply it to their lives outside of lacrosse. His goal is to share the love for the game that Val Curran introduced to him with all his players, and to inspire them to want to share that love for the game with the next generation of South Jersey lacrosse players.

Coach Chris Rosenbleeth (2031 Coach)

Coach Rosenbleeth grew up in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and attended St. Joseph’s Prep, Loyola College in Maryland, and Rutgers Law School.  He was active in sports through law school, most notably on various club and intramural basketball teams.  Having grown up in the area prior to the rise of boys’ lacrosse, Coach Rosenbleeth came to the game when his oldest son began playing as a scooper and dove in headfirst to learning the game.  Coach Rosenbleeth has been a coach for 6 years with Marlton’s town program, 2 years with Breakaway Box Lacrosse, and the past 3 years with Jersey Express’ 2031 team.  Coach Rosenbleeth is also integrally involved with growing the game in South Jersey, as a member of Marlton’s Boys’ Lacrosse board, a member of the executive committee of the South Jersey Youth Lacrosse League, and, for 2022-2024, as the President of South Jersey Youth Lacrosse League.  Over that time and through those experiences, Coach Rosenbleeth fell in love with the game – “addicted”, as his wife would say!

Coach Rosenbleeth believes in finding what approach to coaching works with each player – often, a “one-style-fits-all” approach doesn’t reach every kid.  He loves to work with each player one-on-one to improve his skills and knowledge of the game.  You can often find him at practice and games pulling aside an individual player, pointing out small intricacies and cheering him when it “clicks” for that player.  Further, Coach Rosenbleeth believes that lessons learned on the field will translate later in life – whether it is discipline, teamwork, work ethic or being a good sport – and tries to instill these values in all of his players.

Coach Rosenbleeth currently resides in Marlton with his wife, Tiffani, and their three children, and is the head of the Real Estate and Finance practice of a large Philadelphia law firm.

Directors

Erik Hilliard (Youth Director)

Patrick McAndrew (High School Director)

I started coaching Marlton Rec Lacrosse in 2010. Being part of the lacrosse program brought the opportunity
to become more involved and I took on the role as Marlton Rec Lacrosse Commissioner for 4 years starting in 2012. During my time with Marlton Rec, we saw the potential within a few teams that they could play at a club level. We also saw the need for a true South Jersey club team and decided to start our own. Tribal Lacrosse Club of South Jersey started from those original 3 teams and evolved into the Jersey Express program we have today.
