About

Coach Forehan started playing lacrosse in the inaugural Foothill High School team in 1998. After playing for just 3 years, they won their first of many CIF Championships. He made the All Star team in his junior and senior year defenseman, and won the High School Club Championship in 2001 & 2002.

After graduating and starting his career as a Licensed General Contractor, Rick was asked to come back and coach at Foothill High School and Hewes Middle School after work. Coach Forehan held several positions on the coaching staff. He started as an asst coach on the Freshmen/JV team for one season followed by three seasons as head JV Coach and Assistant to Varsity defense. Followed by 6 seasons as Assistant Varsity Coach and finished coaching at Foothill during his 5th season as defensive coordinator. In that time they went on to win multiple Championship titles including CIF 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2017, 2018. They came in second place in 2019 and 2021. 

Coach Forehan’s style is direct, informative, and educational. His passion for lacrosse teaches players to be aggressive, fast paced, deliberate and intentional while on the field.

Off the field, Rick enjoys spending time with his wife and kids, and their three dogs. His seemingly endless list of hobbies include hunting, fishing, golfing, off roading, camping, traveling, and football.

Coach Forehan enjoys being of service to his community through coaching lacrosse and has also spent several years mentoring others with troubled past. Rick is excited to help grow the sport of lacrosse in middle Tennessee while building the foundation on values, community, and positive attitudes.
