Our Story
Lacrosse has always been one of Hanna Doerner's greatest passions. She began her journey playing on the Palmer Boys Youth Team, where the other players would stop in disbelief after finding out they just got scored on by a girl. She moved on to play girls lacrosse once her dad began the program in the Lehigh Valley. Devoting her time to getting better, Hanna broke the records for most career points and career goals in high school, along with being awarded All-Area First Team and EPC First Team for three consecutive years .
​
She hoped to one day play for a Division I school, however, with the high costs of the local club teams, she was unable to afford to play, making the scouting process nearly impossible. We know that everything happens for a reason as she was able to eventually discover that her true passion was coaching. With experience coaching her own teams at BBL and the Lehigh Valley Rebels, to assistant coaching Pleasant Valley High School through an undefeated season, she decided it was time for a new journey.
After exploring the idea with her colleague, Allison Altobelli, they decided it was time to bring a fresh team to the Lehigh Valley. Levitate Lacrosse was born to offer young female athletes the opportunity that Hanna was unable to experience fully. Now each day we are developing the skills and confidence of our girls in order to build their abilities for the collegiate level and beyond.
