Clearing the Path for College Recruiting
With more than 20 years of college coaching experience — and a lifetime of trusted relationships throughout the lacrosse community — I help student-athletes and families navigate recruiting with honest evaluation, clear strategy and personal advocacy. Together, we identify the colleges where each student-athlete can thrive academically, athletically and personally.
“Ned Webster has lived every part of the college athletic experience and is perfectly positioned to advise those navigating this often confusing journey.”

About
A Lifetime in the Game
I was born in Baltimore and had a lacrosse stick in my hands before I could walk.
As the son of a Hall of Fame assist man, my brothers, who played lacrosse at UVA and UNC, and I were raised as feeders and facilitators, taking pride in making our teammates better. That mindset has shaped how I have approached every role in life, both on the field and off it.
After a playing career at the Boys' Latin School and Notre Dame (shortened prematurely by back to back ACL tears), I lived and coached in San Diego and Australia and worked in New York City before moving to the Bay Area.
