Seahawks Family Testimonials

I was first exposed to lacrosse in Sarasota in Middle School. I had the pleasure of being coached by Jamie (Coach Jamie Carver) and Clayton (Coach Clayton Wight) at a young age. After my 1st season of lacrosse with the Seahawks Coaches, I fell in love with the sport. I knew I wanted to play the sport at the highest level, and consoled with Jamie on what would be the best steps for me to take.
