Sidney Van Tassel
Recruit Profile
NJ.com Top Pick 2024 player for both lacrosse and field hockey. Solid player, very coachable.
I started playing lacrosse in 3rd grade and fell in love with it. I have been playing club lacrosse since 4th grade, and while I have played both attack and defense, I really like the midfield position because it allows me to play both positions. While I love to be a part of the scoring - I'd say my favorite thing to do is to intercept passes. That feeling of doing something that can turn the game around is amazing. In addition to lacrosse, I also play field hockey. As a freshman, I am mid-field varsity starter - and our team won their division this year - so we are off to the state games! I take advanced biology and advanced math, and I have just been recommended for advanced English. This past year I coordinated my own fundraiser for the Children of Fallen Patriots Organization. I ran 100 miles in the month of August and raised over $1300 to help the tuition needs of a student whose parent died in the line of duty - and next year I plan to coordinate a team with the hopes of raising even more money. During the field hockey season, I volunteer by helping my coach teach younger students how to play field hockey. Thank you!

I have had the pleasure of working with Sidney since she was in sixth grade. She has always impressed me with not only her skill, but her level head. She matches her intense skill work with an amazing lacrosse IQ. Sidney is also one of the most coachable athletes I have had the honor to work with. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this athlete. Over the last year, I have had the opportunity to work more directly with Sidney on a day-to-day basis, and I have always been inspired by her work ethic at practices, and even more impressed knowing she would leave and still go home to do an hour of wall ball. She is humble, hard-working, and fun-loving. I cannot wait to see what amazing things she accomplishes at the next level.
