Exciting Coaching Addition Former Notre Dame Assistant Coach Joins Eagle Stix

Eagle Stix is thrilled to announce the addition of Jill Byers to

our coaching staff. Byers was an assistant coach at Yale for

three years and most recently the assistant coach at Notre

Dame University.

In addition to coaching, Byers was arguably the best player to

ever come out of the Notre Dame Women’s Lacrosse program

and still remains the Notre Dame career leader in all-time

goals (262) and points (336). She was also is second in draw

controls (154), tied for second in games played (76), fifth in

assists (74) and 10th in caused turnovers (61).

Byers was a four-year member of the U.S. Women's National

Lacrosse Team. While playing with Team USA, she competed

with and played against the best players in the world.

Byers’ knowledge of the game, coaching and playing

experience, recruiting coordination and contacts, as well as

her passion for lacrosse will be invaluable to the Eagle Stix

program.

We are very lucky to have a coach of Jill Byers caliber as part

of our Eagle Stix coaching staff.

Star Spangled Shoot Out

The first annual SSSO tournament took place last

weekend at Sharon Springs Park in Cumming GA.

There were 30 teams participating in this tournament

from states including GA, TN, AL. The tournament

provided great competition for middle school and

high school ages. The Eagle Stix Dynamite team won

the HS Elite Division, The Lady Dragons from

Collierville TN won the HS Select division, and the

Lady Raiders from Walton won the MS division.

2013 High School Elite Division Champions – Dynamite!
