High school sports are vital to teaching team work, cooperation, and self-confidence. Most of the girls that first try-out for the team have never seen or played lacrosse. Many come from families that do not have the means to purchase a lacrosse stick for their child. While I have had former players donate their lacrosse sticks so the next generation can use them, many are too old, beyond repair and not legal for play anymore. I am hoping to continue the tradition of offering every player the chance to play and be a vital part of a team by having lacrosse sticks available so they can play.
