"At the Girls Empowerment Clinic this past Sunday, I was so pleased at the number of girls who came and participated. All of the girls were fully engaged, excited to learn new skills and review basics before the season began. The different drills allowed each girl to show off her strengths and work on her weaknesses. The girls already had the basics down, so we were able to introduce new ideas such as crease rolls and multiple dodges. They picked up these skills exceptionally fast and demonstrated what they learned in the scrimmage at the end of the clinic. Their favorite drill, however, seemed to be the dogfights, where the competitive spirit definitely came out. After giving my presentation on Title IX and healthy lifestyles, they asked myself and the other coaches a few questions about our experiences. I am so glad I got the opportunity to host this clinic. It is nice to see younger girls taking an interest in the sport and really wanting to advance themselves as players, showing a true passion for the game. After playing for so many years, it was great to spread my knowledge of the game and help others who are just starting lacrosse."

"When we picked Elizabeth up from the workshop I was expecting her to be tired after a full afternoon. Instead she was excited about what she had learned and about the upcoming lacrosse season. She enjoying hearing from the young women who lead the workshop and told us first the information/statistics about how girls in lacrosse or other organized sports tend to have higher academic achievement and better fitness and health as an adult. She also had a clear idea about the healthiness of different snacks. She was very excited about her shorts as well! (thank you). She described the coaches as personable and friendly. She was appreciated learning and practicing offensive techniques such as dodges. Although physically tired she was enthusiastic about her sport. This workshop was a great way to start the spring season."
