Lacrosse

Q&A with Lacrosse club sponsor Alex Houlton:

What is the purpose of the club?

The purpose of the club is to help the players on the lacrosse team meet at school and to recognize lacrosse as a school activity. It’s also for those who maybe don’t want to play, but now have an avenue to support the team and the growth of the sport.

Why did you want to be the sponsor of the club?

I’ve played lacrosse for seven years, in high school and college. I’ve also coached most of the guys who are playing right now. I’m just trying to help them out and help the growth of the sport anyway I can.

What events and activities will you be doing throughout the year?

During the off season, just the chance to meet and organize things. In the spring we’ll be looking to really promote the sport and find ways for people to get involved in something they might not be aware of beforehand.

What are you excited about for the club?

I’m just excited to see people get involved and see the growth of the sport. It’s a really fun game that unless you’ve seen it or played it before you might not know about it. Also to help those guys I’ve seen work really hard and help them to become better players.

What are some of the challenges the club will face?

It’s always tough balancing between it being a sport and a club. Also, finding ways for people to be involved without stepping on their toes.

Q&A with Lacrosse club president Preston Cole

What is the purpose of the Lacrosse club?

The Lacrosse club is for our lacrosse team to be more apart of our school and also for multiple people to join, not only lacrosse players, so that we can build our fan base and student section.

Why did you decide to become the president of the Lacrosse Club?

I’m one of the team captains for lacrosse, so I decided it was my opportunity to also become the president of the lacrosse club at the school.

What do you think the club will add to Mill Valley?

It will add a new sport. A new thing for students to watch over the week, something to be excited about.

What do you hope to accomplish through the club?

Get the word out about lacrosse, grow our student section and hopefully get lacrosse closer to becoming a school sport.

What challenges do you think the club faces?

Most likely interaction. Since lacrosse isn’t a school sport our practices can intertwine with other events.
