Greetings Riverside Lacrosse, I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! We are excited for our Home Opening Game this coming Friday! Weather (as of now looks to be great). Let’s get a huge crowd out there and be loud cheering on our boys. The website I have been told has been updated. It has been reported to me that some people did in fact receive last week’s notifications, emails, and texts. If you did not, please re-subscribe to the Boys Lacrosse Team (emails/text alerts) located on www.riversiderams.net.This week we will be discussion and explaining the difference between Goals vs. Standards. Goals are performance-based. They reinforce what we want to achieve. Such as winning a game, scoring well on test/quiz, meeting quarterly business numbers, or winning a championship. Standards are behavior-based. They reinforce how we are expected to behave while achieving our goals. Such as coming to practice on time, practicing with high energy and enthusiasm, hustling, being

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse, I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. We are anxiously awaiting game week this week! The players have been working extremely hard and we are exciting to see them in action. This week we are going to be discussing the concept of Great Team Leaders, and Great Teammates. Great Team Leaders do two things. 1. They accomplish the mission. Whatever that mission may be. It can be as small as being sure everyone has the same socks on. 2. They take care of their teammates. They make sure their teammates come first, always.Great Teammates also do two things. 1. Meet the standards of our team, consistently and at a high level. 2. Hold fellow teammates accountable for meeting those same standards. To be a Great Team Leader you also must be vocal. We have discussed there is no such thing as the saying “leading by example”. A player that is consistently doing the right thing, coming to practice on time, giving great effort, meeting all our stand

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse, This weekend will be a busy one for me, so I wanted to be sure to get next week’s schedule out. We have a fun week ahead with two tough scrimmages against top 6A competition. This week into next week, the program will continue to discuss Accountability. Specifically, the difference between being “Nice” and “Kind”, as well as the meaning of how “Silence” effects the team. “Nice” is saying hello, please, and thank you. Nice is sitting down with a lonely teammate or classmate or holding the door for someone. Be nice! “Kind” is holding a teammate accountable. We understand that it may hurt their feelings or make them upset at us at times, but because it will make them (and our team) better, kind people hold teammates accountable. Be nice and kind! “Silence” is neither being nice nor kind. Silence is consent. We stay silent because we lack moral courage. Don’t. If our teammates (in our school or on the lacrosse field) are doing something wrong or

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse,
I just wanted to reach out and give a few administrative reminders and updates. It has been a long week for everyone. Congratulations to all that have made the 2025 boys lacrosse program! I want to thank you all for your tremendous attitudes, support, and effort this week (Parents included).
For new families, the first 2 weeks are always the most challenging, as we have a ton of logistical items that we need to take care of at the beginning of the season. After that, things settle down into a smooth routine. The boys are working hard on not only learning lacrosse but assimilating into the culture of the program. This week we are stressing our 3 core values: Accountability, Integrity, and Toughness.
Accountability: Holding themselves and their teammates accountable for meeting our program standards on and off the playing field.
Integrity: No lying, cheating, stealing, or tolerating those within our program who do.
Toughness: Being physic

Greetings Riverside Lacrosse,
Our Riverside Basketball Team has a huge game tonight vs. Potomac Falls. Many of our lacrosse players are leaders around the building and want to support classmates and friends in the basketball program. We also feel that it is important to your overall high school experience to do so, supporting other teams and having Ram Pride. We will be canceling our Green Day tonight 2/4. Please plan on attending the basketball senior night game tonight vs. Pot Falls and cheering positively for our team.
We do encourage you to get out and get some lacrosse work in on your own. Wall ball, stick-work and conditioning are always a top priority.
