Staff Head Coach – Markus Saba Assistant Coach – TBD Director of Travel – Amie LoPresti Volunteer/Community – the team will have a number of team building events throughout the season that are designed to teach players to ‘give back to their community’. Conditioning/Nutrition – It is expected that players at this age will begin to learn and follow appropriate behavior commensurate with an athlete. Sleep, stretching, nutrition, liquids, pre-game, post-game, tourney prep. Fun – Having fun and enjoying lacrosse is very important, however, it is not the priority. At this age and at the travel team level, it is a by-product of adhering to the above outlined philosophies. By mastering respect, competing, preparing and adhering to the keeper of lacrosse code, the result will be fun. It will be meaningful fun that is earned and deserved, resulting in a life-long love for lacrosse.
