Philosophy
Trinity-Pawling’s lacrosse program is designed to prepare each player for the rigors of college and life thereafter. Regular meetings and an ongoing dialogue with the coaching staff help to ensure that each boy is meeting his academic, athletic, and personal potential. In every conceivable way, Pride lacrosse players are prepared for the college ranks as students, players, and men of consequence.
