Endorsements
Charlie King
Percy is a highly skilled defenseman that excels in keeping pressure on his man and his stickhandling both on defense and with the ball. He’s always coachable with a great attitude and has developed a high lacrosse IQ. His footwork and positioning are constantly improving. He consistently gets into passing lanes to create turnovers and transition offense.
Calder Alfano
I coached Percy as a middle schooler and he is a humble, coachable and joyful athlete. He is able to make plays on and off the ball in the defensive end and possesses the skills to get the ball up off the ground and down the field in transition.
Justin VanTassel
Percy is a very hard worker that wants nothing more than to be the best. He grinds harder than most kids his age and is willing to put in extra effort on a regular basis. He has a great lacrosse IQ and makes the smart plays.
Chris Anders
Percy has one of the best attitudes towards the game, the coaches and he’s teammates. Listens to coach’s and adapts well to different game plans. Has great lax IQ which helps him tactically on the field make plays. Solid stick skills and footwork makes him a great defenseman.
Brendan Gleason
Percy is a strong and hardworking athlete. He's an aggressive defender that makes a lot of plays by pressuring the ball carriers and handles the ball well in the clearing game. He is coachable and has the work ethic to become an elite defender.
Nick Yanora
Percy is one of the hardest working players that I have coached. He puts in the extra work to get better and is very coachable. No matter if it is summer ball or the regular season, Percy always comes ready to play and leaves it all out on the field.
