Hi, my name is Sam Steiner and I play defense for Tri-State NJ lacrosse. I started playing lacrosse in 5th grade and instantly fell in love with the sport. Since then I have played for my town's select team as well as the Ramapo High School Varsity Team and Tri-State. I enjoy playing lacrosse at a competitive level and plan on continuing at the college level. Academically, I achieved solid grades and made honor roll every marking period during my freshman year. In addition to academics and lacrosse, I actively participate in many clubs such as DECA, Interact (our school's community club), Stock Market Club, and Kaiyapalooza, a school group dedicated to raising money and awareness for cerebral palsy. I also volunteer at Valley Hospital and feel a strong sense of pride in working with others and helping those in need. Making the varsity team as a freshman was a great experience and I thrived on the high level of competition. I played in over 85% all of my freshman varsity high school games and was a starter in more than half of them. For Tri-State I attended 5 tournaments over the summer of 2015 and played in every game.
