Mens Coaching Staff

A business owner, a father, a husband, a musician and a coach. While I have played many sports in a competitive nature in high school, club or collegiately from baseball, football, track and field, wrestling and water polo, my favorite sport is lacrosse and second is wrestling.

I started my lacrosse career in 1998 during my senior year of high school and the next 2 years developing my skills before, joining the Oregon state University men’s lacrosse team in 2000. I played Defensive pole and was a PNCLL all-star during my 3rd and 4th year of playing at OSU. I graduated with a degree in Geology in 2004 before pursuing a career in construction. After playing some adult league for a couple of years the love of lacrosse kept tugging on me to get more involved. I began my coaching career in 2006 as the head coach of Century High School (2 time coach of the year league honors) before making coaching stops at Clackamas, West Albany, La Salle, Wilsonville (1 time assistant coach of the year league honors) and have been the Head coach of Clackamas/Nelson lax since 2024.

My passion for lacrosse has led me to connect with young men and woman to be a positive role model and to share in the development of their skills both on and off the field. There are so many things to learn from sports that are applicable throughout life and I am glad I get the opportunity to help share and show those to young athletes like my wrestling coach did for me in high school.

My wife Emily has been such a great support throughout my coaching career and I always appreciate her sacrifice every year to take care of our 3 boys so I can pursue my passion. When I am not coaching I am pursuing my music, traveling, building and the many other hobbies (or as my wife says my need for stuff).

Keith Sheehan, husband, dad, coach.   I love the game of the lacrosse, its history, creativity and its potential growth.  I am proud to have been introduced to the game in the place of its origin and excited to be coaching in a place where it's future holds so much opportunity.

 I believe strongly that the lessons learned from playing sports have more to do with how to become a good teammate, overcoming challenges, learning the benefits of physical activity on the mind and body, learning to be a good communicator, a good person and understanding what you are capable of and less to do with goals scored, playing time and wins and losses.

 I have had the opportunity to coach the game for the last 7 years and the great fortune of playing the game most of my life
