The Brewster girl's lacrosse program began in 1985 and attracts about 40 young women who participate each year at either the Varsity or Junior Varsity level. Both teams play a full schedule against other members of the Lakes Region League. The season begins in March through the end of May. Game days are Wednesday and Saturday with four practices a week. Each year players have the opportunity to play in the Lakes Region classic game and or nominated as an all star. Other special awards are given at the spring athletics sports banquet.
Players have individual goals which are a part of their decision to play.
The common denominator is to help each member of the team develop an appreciation for the sport while contributing to the best of their ability. The program's goals are to have fun while maintaining fitness, building skills and developing game strategy. Players graduating from Brewster often stay involved with the sport at a competitive or club level. The Coach Peter Clark, a third year science teacher and coach in the boys' soccer and lacrosse programs at Brewster, has stepped in to head up the girls' varsity lacrosse coaching staff while program head, Margaret Martin, is on a one season maternity leave. Coach Clark has been a remarkably quick study learning the distinct differences in the girls' and boys' games.
