With over two decades of experience in education and athletics, Coach George Cowan brings a deep commitment to developing young athletes both on and off the field.

Cowan has served as a physical education teacher in Clifton for the past 21 years, working at both the middle and high school levels.

For the past eight years, Coach Cowan has also been the Director of the Clifton Junior Lacrosse Program, overseeing boys and girls teams from kindergarten through 8th grade.
As Camp Director, Coach Cowan is dedicated to creating a fun, competitive, and instructional environment where players of all levels can grow their skills, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for the game.
