Here at Apex, we are very fortunate to have a ton of sports teams to choose from for the students to get involved in. I myself am a part of the Apex Women’s Lacrosse Organization. I am a captain of the JV team and encourage others to get involved with this program because it truly makes an impact. 

As of now, the record of the JV team is 4-0 and hoping that by Friday we will be 5-0. We have fought hard to beat Millbrook, Athens Drive, a huge comeback to beat Apex Friendship, and a 10-2 win against Middle Creek. Our schedule on a regular week consists of usually two games and three practices. Due to these regular practices, we have improved so much from the start of the season. 

Practices consist of running either sprints or laps after a round of stretching. Then we go into partner passing or shuttle lines followed by drills and exercises. Varsity and JV practice on separate ends of the field but sometimes we scrimmage at the end of practice. 

Being able to learn from Coach Sopko and Coach Welch (being the coaches of the JV team) is great for new players because they are lenient and will work on you as much as you desire. Joining the lacrosse team last year was a great experience, and I hope this encourages you to try out,  too.
