Teamwork Abounds!
The Earl L. Vandermeulen High School boys and girls varsity lacrosse
teams recently hosted their annual youth clinic for the Port Jefferson
Village Lacrosse Association. In addition to the hard work and enjoyment
of all the students involved, Taylor Forstell, head coach for the boys
varsity team, noted the importance of the event as a continuation of the
development of the younger players, as they are the cornerstone of the
program’s progress.
“Events like this puts faces to the jerseys of the varsity athletes,
whom our youth athletes come out to support,” he said. The mutual
benefits to both players and volunteers was also expressed by senior
captain Jonathan Moshe, who said “it is a great motivator for younger
athletes to continue to work at the sport. Their efforts will help to
make the lacrosse programs stronger in the years to come.”
