Thanks to Kelly for sending us the following write-up about playing lacrosse!
I started playing lacrosse as a sophomore in high school and wish I had picked it up earlier! It’s fast-paced and fun, but requires a lot of practice and dedication to strengthen your skills. Joining the team has allowed me to form close relationships with the other girls, which helps us to work together on the field. Lacrosse also helps me to stay active and take advantage of the beautiful spring weather.
My favorite part of lacrosse is playing games against other towns because we get excited and competitive while also having fun. Winning makes the long, hard practice days—six times per week—worth the effort. During games we cheer each other on and set high expectations for our teammates because that’s what pushes us to become better players each time we step onto the field.
