OBJECTIVE
To prepare each athlete for competition with instruction and training in the following areas: skill development, team strategy, physical conditioning, psychological skills, nutrition, team cohesiveness, and injury prevention. In addition, to help athletes experience a collegiate-level practice, travel, and competition setting, to gain exposure to college coaches and to assist athletes in the college recruiting process.

PHILOSOPHY
The team philosophy centers on the development of individual skills: physical, mental and behavioral, and their progressive development toward team strategies and goals. A critical aspect of this philosophy is that the individual grows, shares and learns throughout practices and competitions. The coaches' role in carrying out this philosophy is in helping and guiding each athlete to be the best total lacrosse player and person she can be, as well as aiding in the college recruiting process.

PRACTICE AND COMPETITION GOALS

To have fun and enjoy learning more about the sport of lacrosse
To participate in between two to four recruiting tournaments throughout the year
To prepare, practice and play in a collegiate style environment
To represent Colorado at lacrosse events with the highest level of performance and sportsmanship.
