By: Phoebe Warner Despite its growing popularity, lacrosse has had a lot of ups and downs the last year. Elise-Sarah Roskelley, a sophomore on Bear River’s girls’ lacrosse team, has some insights regarding this year’s season.
Even though lacrosse is relatively new to Bear River, it has become very popular. Roskelley says that “there are about 40 students who tryout and they usually don’t cut anyone.” Those who work hard and improve get a chance to play on varsity which only has 20 spots open. Even still, there is an opportunity for almost everyone to participate in the practicing and conditioning. Roskelley likes that there is a lot of opportunity, but also said, “sometimes I feel as if we are overworked. Some of the girls are in shape and others aren't. When some of us fall short, the whole team is punished and it’s really hard .” Lacrosse is said to be easy to pick up, but training and conditioning can be hard on the body. Roskelley said “With lacrosse season cancelled last year, we didn’t do much conditioning. But this year, the standards are still the same, but the way we achieve them is a lot more intense than last year.” While Roskelley agrees that the conditioning has been hard, she knows that it is what will help her and the other players become the best they can be and it’s overall worth it.
