| JAB Lacrosse and the Randolph College women's lacrosse joined forces back in November. |
On Sunday November 6th our whole team got together bright and early and began setting up for the play day our coaches set up. This wasn't the kind of play day we were used to; we weren't playing! Coach Button, our new assistant coach this year happens to be the head lacrosse coach for VES which is right down the street. She coaches a middle and high school club team, which we invited to our campus, along with Forest Middle School to spend a fun filled day of mini-games! Each of the Randolph Lacrosse women had a specific job - reffing, coaching, sign-in, and concessions. We split the field in half short ways, and put two goals on both side lines. The left side of the field was for middle school and the right side was for high school. I was reffing with Taylor Klevens on the middle school side, and Samie Maggard and Sam Fagone were reffing on the high school side...obviously the middle school side was better! We split up the JAB lacrosse girls (Coach Button's Club) into mini groups of about 10 for middle and high school, so that they could play, rest, play, rest. As the day went on we all had loads of fun reffing, coaching, and just sharing our love for the sport with the younger girls. We got to give them pointers, teach them tricks, and get to know them pretty well! We even did a Best Trick contest where whoever had the best trick from middle school and from high school would win a prize! At the end of the day we had an All-Star game for middle and high school, where we picked the best players from each mini-team and had them play a 15 minute all or nothing game! It was so exciting! Finally, we wrapped up the day with loads of pictures and a big cheer! We definitely can't wait to have another one!
