St. Anne's School of Annapolis Lacrosse and Basketball

Nathan Davis and I coach two sports at a middle school called St. Anne's School of Annapolis. We coach 6th and 7th graders and some 8th graders as well. Back in the winter, we coached the Boy's Basketball "B" and "C" team. Our "C" did very well. We ended with a winning record and most of the players developed a good amount mentally and physically in the sport. As for our "B", they were more of a problem. Many times we would have to have group meetings with the Athletic Director and the Principle due to their behavior. Because of their behavior, practice was mainly consumed with running and sprints. Our practices were never used valuably which lead to us losing most of our games. I could still always count on our "C" team to cheer up me up with their better behavior and the postive, commited attitude they had towards the sports. Thankfully, most of our "C" team kids were carried over to the very same lacrosse team Nathan and I coach. The St. Anne's Lacrosse team is developing very well thanks too a few players experience and their vast athleticism. Many of the kids with experience were able to lead and direct our other players. So far we are 2-0 in the season and we still have many games to go. Our First game was a win over Key School. They lack much athleticism making this an expecting, easy win for us. The second win was over Indian Creek. Their middle school team has always been pretty good. The amount of strength and size they had overwhelmed our players but our stick skills, passing, and determination brought us the win. We still haev many games to go but so far its looking pretty good for us.
