"Coach Jill is knowledgeable, passionate and cares about creating a team culture. I’m not sure where the negative reviews are coming from but I’m guessing it’s from players (or their parents) of older players that were recruited by the previous coach. "

"Jill is a phenomenal person, leader, coach and parent. She brings talented women together,in their most formative years, and demonstrates as well as teaches how to lead- through diversity, celebrations and defeat. The real world they prepare to enter will not always be kind and fair to them but parents should feel blessed that their daughters ( whether they are starters or not)- are given the privilege to see first hand what integrity, faith, and family looks like in action. Villanova is blessed to have Jill and her staff- and the teams are as well. Unfortunately some will only realize this much later in life!"

"Jill has a great way with connecting with people, pretty much you get out what you put in. She expects you to be your best on the field, in practices, games, and in life. I believe 3 or 4 times a year she has feedback meeting, stating what you’re doing well and what you can work on. Having this much communication with your head coach does not happen everywhere. Her job is win, so that means putting the best people on the field is crucial. So putting player vs player as other posts said was a bad thing. I don’t really have a problem with, you have to do that to find the player that wants it more. As for parent vs. parent I never really saw any of that, but then again it’s not about the parents. She is coaching young adults, teaching them as so and coaching them as so. She treats them as family. the big east scheduled a game the day before Easter and no one could go home to celebrate with their families, so she had them all over for dinner and Easter egg hunt. "

"Jill Batcheller is an amazing lacrosse coach and cares so deeply for her players and their success on and off the field. Jill invests her whole self into her team. As a player, I am forever grateful for having been coached by Jill. She taught me how to be resilient, determined, and to always follow my passions. She brings the team to her house to celebrate events and holiday with her children and family. Jill views her team as family and strives for creating that culture of love. Jill is the best at what she does and I never felt as a player to question her integrity or intentions as they were always positive and for the better of the whole team. "

"I don’t think it’s possible for me to even put into words how great of a Coach Jill and her assistants Maddy and Kelsea are. She leaves every program, team, and player better than she finds them. Jill gives 100% of herself to make sure ALL of her players are doing well on and off of the field. Thinking back to when I first started with Jill, I struggled to believe in myself. A lot of coaches would have left me in the dust, but she believed in me more than I could ever have believed in myself. I know she does this for everyone. At the end of my career with her I am so proud of the lacrosse player but more so the person I have turned into through her coaching, mentorship, and support. The way she changed my life inspired me to go into coaching myself, hoping to touch other lives the way she changed mine! She is knowledgeable, passionate, kind, caring, honest, and everything and more. Every program she has been to, she has flipped the team culture into a loving and winning team. I feel so lucky to have been a part of it! THE BEST TO EVER DO IT!!!!! Villanova is in for a bright future with her leading the way!"

"Positive honest good communicator "

"Pushes us to be our best without expecting perfection. Fosters a learning environment and truly wants us to be confident and succeed. No mind games, very straight forward. "

"She is the most knowledgeable coach I’ve ever had and knows how to coach a group of girls with talent and win games."
