Waverly is a dedicated player that I have had the privilege of coaching both as a young player, and now as our starting high school varsity goalie. Waverly has always been dedicated to improving her play and growing on the field. Waverly seeks out opportunities to guest play on travel teams and discover clinics and camps to continue working to be the best goalie she can be. Waverly will sometimes attend multiple trainings in a day. She is not afraid to put the work in. Waverly is vocal in the goal and leads her defense to be successful. She contributes input during half time to contribute to adjustments needed on the field. Waverly always brings her passion for lacrosse to the field.

I have had the pleasure of being Waverly’s primary position coach for the last two years. In that time, I have witnessed Waverly as an excellent goalkeeper, hard worker, and uplifting teammate. Waverly continues to work hard to hone her craft. She focuses on moving to the ball and using her frame and angles to decrease the area of the goal for shooters. Waverly attends many clinics and goalie sessions outside of practice. Waverly is an exemplary and uplifting teammate. Part of being the best goalie you can be is communication. Waverly has, from her first day with our team, taken control of the defense, calling out slides and cutters, and putting her defensive unit in the best positions to make big plays. On the sidelines Waverly is one of our team’s loudest and most positive cheerleaders. She can always be heard hollering “you’ve got this” to field players and our other goalie. Waverly is also a straight a student, an accomplished musician, and kind person.

Waverly is a very intelligent student and lacrosse goalie. She has a great work ethic and works very hard in school and on the field. She is a great teammate and always respectful to her coaches. She is a great communicator on the field and helps to lead the defensive unit. Straight A student and very well rounded.
