In the spring of 2015, I was asked by my friend's son to come watch one of his youth lacrosse games. Of course I agreed and wow was it exciting. I was truly impressed with the family like team work this team possessed. The game was very skillful and the pace was incredibly fast. I was hooked! I found myself attending several of his games with the intent of learning as much of the game as I could to become a coach. One thing led to another and now I am starting a local club in hopes to spread this exciting game to the local kids.
I have been a teacher since 2000 and coached several different sports at several different levels—high school tennis, youth baseball as well as youth football. I enjoy working with the kids and seeing the enjoyment they get when the light finally clicks and all the hard work becomes a stepping stone for success.
I am excited to be a part of the Elkhorn Kwik STX Youth Lacrosse board as Secretary. I have watched this club grow since the inception and I am excited to give my input to help further growth. I have been a resident of Elkhorn for the last 16 years. I am a single mom of 2 boys who love to play sports which means, I am a year round sports mom. I love watching my boys sports, hanging out with friends, reading, cooking and watching movies. I look forward to another great lacrosse year.
