Why do you love lacrosse? What is your favorite lacrosse memory?

I love Lacrosse because the game is still growing and constantly adapting. The skill of play increases every year and its fun to be a part of that growth.

My favorite Lacrosse memory was winning the conference title my senior year at Jenison. It took 4 years of work and starting a new program to get there but I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

West Side Testimony.

After only 1 year of playing Westside I learned enough about the game to take my talents to the next level. The Coaches are some of the best I have been around and tools learned in the program last a lifetime.

It has always been the people I played with and against, whether it be in college or playing men’s club lacrosse after college.

Brief West Side Testimony.

As a parent of a Westside player and a coach with Westside it is truly a remarkable club. The coaching is top notch and the players and their parents are truly a family. One has to look no further than watching a high school game in West Michigan to know this. The players are always together after the game, and many times have fun interactions during the game. Murle Greer has created a culture of highly skilled lacrosse instruction for talented players, taught by dedicated coaches, with more playing opportunities than most, all done under the guise of it’s motto; Class and Respect.
