Coordinator of Boys Lacrosse​: Doug Nelson

Coach Nelson is the on field lacrosse coordinator for boys lacrosse.  He is tasked with building a team of athletic, in shape, disciplined young men who expect to win.  

Coach Nelson was a starting member of the Georgia Tech lacrosse team for his entire career, including the 1992 undefeated season. He spent one year as the head coach, in 1995. Coach Nelson resumed coaching in 2001 as the defensive coordinator at Westminster under Coach Suoza. In 3 years, they coached in 3 semi-final games, 2 state championship games, and won the title in 2003. Doug joined Decatur lacrosse in 2005 and helped build a winning culture over 10 years. In that time, Coach Nelson served as offensive and defensive coordinator at various times. His 2 years as offensive coordinator were Decatur's most successful teams (2012, 2013). Decatur played in the semi-finals both years and scored more points than they had before or after. Coach Nelson joined St. Pius X in 2015.
