"To the Crash, past, present and future.... As many of you know the Rhinos Lacrosse program was built on some basic objectives and goals. We wanted to always provide an atmosphere where laxers of all ages could go, play, and learn without the stress of tryouts, cost, or skill.
We have literally brought men in the fifties who have never played before into the sport, saved kids from quitting or hating the sport due to a another teams coach, experience, and or cost. This has always been a team and family that has been to war with each other on the playing field and grown to be best men in weddings, God parents to teammates' children, etc. We have built our teams from friendship based on the quality of the person, not the talent of the player.
Many of the founder fathers of this team still play with each other, coach together and have successfully and joyfully coached a second generation of Rhinos. With that all said, what I witnessed this past summer with the PA Rhinos was the epitome of almost 20 Years of Rhinos.
The team, families and coaches have found the perfect formula to create a Lacrosse environment free of judgement, exorbitant fees, and coach ridicule. Seeing the level of play from these kids, listening to the great family members saying how their son was ready to quit until they found us, and then seeing the leadership of the coaches proves to me that what we set out to do has been the right thing.
Mike Dalbey has been the greatest single coaching aspect to this squad in our long tenure. Thank you Crash for your commitment, your trust, and your support as we grow into this 2017 season.
