Anthony Kelly has emerged as one of the world's best faceoff specialists. He also showed with his 5-point performance and Fastest Shot title at the 2008 MLL All-Star Game that his skills are hardly limited to the draw.
Kelly is active not only in lacrosse as a player but also as a coach. He was a collegiate assistant last year at Harvard and previous to that led the Hilliard Davidson School (Ohio) boys' lacrosse team as their head coach.
The "A-Train" brings a surprisingly high-level of skill and finesse to his game for a player with such massive size (6'4", 250). He preaches strong work ethic and dedication as the keys to faceoff success, and demands the most out of players that have the privilege of working with him.
