WHY BOUNCE? I love working with BOUNCE because it is a completely different atmosphere from my full time job. I have been working with BOUNCE since 2006. This will be my 4th summer! The coaches at BOUNCE are SO energetic and fun and the focus is on building up the lives of young lacrosse players, not just making them better at lacrosse. I always have fun working with BOUNCE and love being involved in the lives of fun and active youth! BOUNCE rocks!

WHY BOUNCE? BOUNCE was such a huge part of my lacrosse experience in high school and by far one of my favorite parts. I am so excited to help other girls have the same experience that I did and get a chance to be on the other end of it as well. I also think that by being a coach it will help me improve my game and also allow me to be able to help out the girls on my team better.
