Girls Lacrosse
Philosophy
The goal of the Souderton Girls Lacrosse program is to create a student-athlete who works hard and is honored to represent her school and team, on and off the field. By doing this, each player will be challenged to maintain their grades, demonstrate teamwork and sportsmanship, display a competitive edge, and enhance their lacrosse skills, physically and mentally. Players will also be called upon to be role models for the Souderton Area community and uphold a strong athletic tradition that has continued success in all areas of athletics.
Our additional goals as coaches is to provide a learning experience that offers leadership and trust, while working hard to continue a successful program. We are a NO TOLERANCE program that encourages players to train using appropriate practices and stay drug free.
