Greater Atlanta Christian School (GAC) is proud to announce the hiring of Branden Geldart as the new Head Coach of the GAC varsity boys lacrosse program. Bringing more than 10 years of collegiate and elite club coaching experience, Geldart will lead the Spartans with a vision centered on player development, Christ-centered leadership, and building one of Georgia's premier K–12 lacrosse programs.

“We are excited to announce Branden Geldart as the next Head Boys' Lacrosse Coach at GAC. Coach Geldart combines a wealth of collegiate coaching experience with a genuine passion for developing young men through the game of lacrosse. He is a man of genuine faith who will build a culture of discipline, integrity, hard work, and servant leadership. He has a clear vision for building a thriving K–12 program that reflects the values of GAC. We are excited to welcome him and his family to our community,” said GAC Athletic Director Tim Hardy.

Geldart joins the GAC community after 11 years of collegiate coaching experience. He most recently served as the Head Men's Lacrosse Coach at Young Harris College, where he transformed the NCAA Division II program through a player-first philosophy centered on development, accountability, and leadership. 

Before Young Harris, Geldart served as Offensive Coordinator and Recruiting Coordinator at Berry College, where he designed the Vikings' offensive system, implemented individualized player development plans, and recruited high-character student-athletes who aligned with Berry College's academic and athletic mission. During his final two seasons at Berry, the Vikings made back-to-back (2021 and 2022) appearances in the Southern Athletic Association Championship game. Geldart coached five All-Southern Athletic Association offensive performers during that time.

Prior to Berry, Geldart served three seasons as the assistant men's lacrosse coach at Oberlin College. He served as the team's offensive coordinator in 2020 after serving as the defensive coordinator the prior two seasons.

"I am excited to continue the growth and development of the boys lacrosse program while working collaboratively with our players, families, coaches, and school leadership to build a strong K–12 community," said Geldart. "My vision emphasizes long-term player development, accountability, and creating an environment where student-athletes pursue excellence in every area of life. GAC is a special community with a rich tradition of excellence and strong values, and I look forward to helping develop young men of character who compete with passion, integrity, and purpose."
