Celeste Wilkerson and Morgan Isaac have been a big asset to the team, showing leadership and giving motivation to the players. Being on the team has given them unbreakable bonds. “Lacrosse has helped me become more confident in myself. By playing lacrosse, I've built strong bonds that have helped me become more social in life. I have been able to be more confident in what I do and how I achieve it,” Wilkerson said.

Being on the team has taught them social skills, and other important skills to use out in the real world. Learning to have fun and show sportsmanship is key to leading the team to victory.

“Lacrosse has taught me the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship. The lesson I have learned from playing lacrosse is to work together as a team to bring home the win,” Isaac said. Bringing home the win is always exciting, but it never gets accomplished without working as a team and using communication. While playing lacrosse, you might get put into a position you aren’t familiar with, but communicating with teammates that have more experience always helps in the end.

“Lacrosse has taught me to value communication because one of the key things in defending is communicating with your teammates to know what zone you need to be in. It has also taught me the value of teamwork because in lacrosse teamwork is a necessary defense, midfield, and attack must work together in order to get the ball,” Wilkerson said.
