CLC Grit

Grit is defined in the dictionary as: firmness of character, indomitable spirit. 
I believe it is the difference maker between what makes players and teams good or great! On our team, players will certainly learn the game of lacrosse, complete with all the necessary stick skills, lacrosse IQ, and teamwork, but what will define us will be our GRIT!

CLC Grit – Lawrence

Meet the Director of CLC Grit,
Patra Acquaviva

Welcome to the CLC Grit Family! My name is Patra Acquaviva and I am the Director of both CLC Force and CLC Grit and Girls Lacrosse at Centercourt Marlboro and Lawrence. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a town that offered lacrosse from a young age and take part in a historically strong program at Hunterdon Central High School. After high school, I attended Rutgers University where I was a member of the Division I lacrosse program and majored in Exercise Science. The start-of-the-art strength and conditioning program allowed me to foster my knowledge and education for strength and conditioning and prepare me for a 10-year career in the field.

While being a full-time strength and conditioning coach, I worked at a leading lacrosse club as an elite team and program coach. From there, I have been a club director and coach at 2 various clubs and ran my own lacrosse training business for 5 years. I am more than excited to bring this experience to Centercourt and CLC Lacrosse.

Utilizing both my strength and conditioning and lacrosse experience, I coach to develop well-rounded athletes and dominating lacrosse players. CLC Grit is composed of girls that are willing to put the work in and strengthen their skills on all facets of the game.
