"I’ve known Joe for almost a decade and he is not only an outstanding lacrosse coach but a better person with the kids best interests in mind. "

"Coach Joe Hammerle is extremely dedicated to teaching on and off the field. With his patience, knowledge, and experience he is a huge reason I reached the highest level of Division 1 lacrosse. Outside of lacrosse and after high school graduation he has consistently checked in on my well being. He cares deeply about his students and players and will do anything to see them succeed. I would recommend him 1000 times over."

"Coach Haemmer is a true teacher of the sport and more importantly- life. Both of which are tough to do when you're dealing with teenage boys. However, I've seen the ways in which he is able to impart lessons and strategy in way which deeply resonates with the boys. Most importantly, I know that my son and all the boys on the team feel that Coach Haemmer cares about their success, as athletes and people- which I think is the best endorsement possible."

"That was my guy when I worked with him 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼 he’s a hard worker."

"I have known Joe Haemmerle for"

"He has been one of the top three influencers in my life. He taught me to self sure work hard strive persevere. He told me how to take a challenge and beat it and become a man. Inspired have the ability to take a person who is a ball of plate and turn it into the person this world needs. That man was not a part of my life. I would not be who I am today where I am at today.. I never had a father, but of course in my life he’s been the greatest father of me than anyone else"

"Tremendous character and changed my life for the better, I am extremely grateful to have met him and I could speak nothing but good about him."

"Joe had tremendous positive influence on the Ramapo lacrosse team.

He was very involved in the recruitment process, had impressive knowledge of the game and led us to a deep playoff run, and was a role model for myself and others on the team."

"Coach Hammer is a great man and terrific motivator! I loved playing for him. He challenges his athletes to be their best."

"While I was interim AD at Bergen Catholic a few years ago. Joe Hammerle was my right hand man guiding me through the BC protocols. It would have been a difficult 6 months without Joe. He was great."

"I’ve had the opportunity to be coached by Joe Hammerle for at least 8 years of my life. From a young kid dreaming of playing on his Bergen Catholic teams, to having the chance to be coached by him directly at Ramapo High School, his passion for helping young men succeed and love for the game of lacrosse is awesome. All the great role models I’ve had in my life have been coaches, and Coach Hammerle is one of them."
