Cannons Coaching Staff
John Duchouquette

Although he has a healthy competitive spirit, he firmly believes that at the youth level "success" is measured in the quality of the individuals experience in concert with team success. As a former professional athlete, and a father of four boys, he always promotes a respect for the coaching role and will approach each player at every level with that privilege in mind.

Ben Whittenburg
With four multi-sport children and a passion for coaching/teaching, Coach Ben has over thirty seasons of youth coaching across various sports including tackle football, flag football, basketball, soccer, baseball, kickball and lacrosse. Coach Ben has coached two seasons with the Vista Ridge Rangers. When his oldest son started playing lacrosse three years ago, he fell in love with the sport. Through the years, Coach Ben has developed a few fundamental principles that guide his coaching style – i) attitude and effort are everything…if you practice and play with great attitude and effort you have to be satisfied with the results; ii) if you want to win, you have to out work the other teams; and iii) winning teams are teams, not individuals…players must work together for a common goal. Coach Ben looks forward to applying what he has learned over the years to coaching lacrosse this season with the Cannons and developing young players.
