Girls Lacrosse is a competitive, team sport where we will develop offensive and defensive skills to compete at a high standard. LAX encompasses skills reminiscent of hockey, soccer, basketball, and rugby. We have participants from both Sauk Rapids-Rice High School and Sartell High School. We encourage all students that are interested in trying out a new sport to come to practice and see if it interests them. We have a family-oriented program where we strive to be a sisterhood and safe place for female athletes.
I coach because I have a passion for impacting female athletes to be the best that they can be. I coach because I want to instill confidence, discipline, hard-work, sacrifice, and life-long skills into my players. I coach because I want female athletes to experience the benefits of working together as a team to accomplish a common goal. I coach because I want young girls to know that they can do anything they put their mind to. With hard work and determination, anything is possible.
