Chazz Woodson Is Molding the Next Generation of Black Lacrosse Players

Former Major League Lacrosse All-Star Chazz Woodson now coached for Hampton University in Virginia.

To elementary school students at Ransom Everglades School in Miami, he was Mr. Woodson. To the lacrosse community, he was Chazz: former high school All-American, two time Major League Lacrosse All-Star and frequent feature on SportsCenter’s top 10 list.

To the current roster of the Hampton University Pirates men’s lacrosse team, he is Coach Woodson, sometimes Coach Chazz. To everyone, he is the head coach of the only active Division I men’s lacrosse team at an HBCU.

But Chazz is so much more than his job title.
