Lacrosse has Multiple Successes

It's exciting that in Gar's senior year of lacrosse competition, the team has achieved a school conference record, winning each conference game and emerging as the #1 team in the south conference.  As we proceed into the conference playoffs (state-wide private school conference) this weekend and city playoffs next week, we have celebrated many individual and team successes and lamented some non-conference losses. 

In addition to the scores, there are multiple additional successes including:

• this team has embraced each player as a contributor in given situations, regardless of class rank or varsity experience. 
• informal mentoring has encouraged younger players to embrace the players who will be underclassmen to them in subsequent years
• the coach has allowed some player coaching - the ultimate way to do what is best for the team, rather than the individual player
• parents are fully onboard with the players and other parents, with social opportunities for each group to positively engage off the field or stands

There are multiple ways to create community.  And we've loved our opportunity to embrace the lacrosse community.
