We wrapped up our lacrosse season with a 7-4 victory over Salem at Reserve Avenue last night. It was a well played (if somewhat short) game. Salem has a couple of players that are very skilled but we have better depth. We had close to 30 there last night.
Over the course of the season, the girls improved tremendously. By the last couple of games, there was a lot more passing, ground balls were picked up more effectively and defenders moved their feet. There were many girls who went from newbie to skilled player. It was great to see.
I learned a lot as well. Next year, I'm going to plan practices out better so that we use the time more effectively and keep them moving at all times. I'll script it, make sure they understand what they are supposed to be doing and keep it very positive. The girls are like sharks, if they stop moving they (or at least their attention spans) die.
Overall, a successful season. As the girls say, "RVLLA - that's the way we like to play!"
