Coach Kris Alleyne On Perfecting His (and others) Lacrosse Goalie Game – LGR Episode 106
By Coach Damon
August 10, 2021
Goalie Kris Alleyne played his college ball at Rutgers University from 2013-16, earning 2013 BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year and First Team All-BIG EAST honors as a freshman.
During his 4 years with the Scarlet Knights, Alleyne appeared in 53 contests, posting a 10.40 goals against average and .522 save percentage, and recording 545 saves, the fifth most in school history.
After Rutgers, Kris took his talents to the MLL where he was a 2016 seventh-round draft pick of the Rochester Rattlers and also spent time with the Hammerheads.
In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Alleyne serves as the director of the Goalie Factory, an organization that looks to “develop next-level lacrosse goalies through emphasis on proper fundamentals.” Alleyne also spent time as an assistant coach for the Puerto Rican National Team (2018-20), helping the team finish eighth at the 2018 FIL World Championships in Israel as a first-year nation.
As Kris mentions in the interview, lacrosse has given him so much in terms of education, lifelong relationships, travel and now it’s his turn to give back as much as possible for the next generation of goalies and athletes. To that end he put together this amazing backyard video training series that I linked up to down below.
I prefer to keep the conversations on this podcast mostly focused on lacrosse goalie stuff but we do touch on what it means to him to be a black athlete in lacrosse, especially a black goalie since there are so few.
Pretty impressive resume as a goalie and a coach. Enjoy this conversation with a great goalie and a great guy – Coach Kris Alleyne.

Master the Goalie Parent Role
Being a goalie parent is harder than playing the position. That’s why I created the Lacrosse Goalie Super Mom/Dad course — designed for parents with zero lacrosse experience who still want to support their goalie. You’ll learn how to train them (yes, really), but more importantly, how to guide them through the emotional highs and lows of the game.

Promote your brand, product, or service by sponsoring the Lax Goalie Rat newsletter. It's the easiest way to get noticed by a passionate and highly targeted community of lacrosse goalies and coaches.
I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but is the XRS really worth the price, recently my cascade R broke so I was wondering if I should switch to an S or XRS
thanks,
Hey nate, not sure haven’t used the XRS yet. Are you in the Facebook group? https://www.facebook.com/groups/laxgoalierats – someone in there probably has one and can give you an opinion
I am not in the Facebook group, I will have to check that out.
