Mass Elite Missy Nash Mass Elite
Mass Elite
4th grade teacher at Neary School in Southborough.
Helped to start the Southborough Youth Lacrosse League for girls in 2001.
Coached the Varsity Girls' Lacrosse Team at Poly Prep Country Day School in
Brooklyn, NY for three years (1997-1999).
Play year round for the Boston Club Team and act as Coach and Player/Coach for Mass Elite.
Four-year starting attacker/midfielder at Brown University and graduated
from there in 1996.
Received the team's Rookie of the Year award my Freshman year.

I absolutely love coaching the girls who play for Mass Elite. The main reason why is because each girl that plays for Mass Elite really wants to be there. They have chosen to work beyond their potential because they want to be the best lacrosse players that they can possibly be. Mass Elite provides them with the opportunity to do just that. The intense practices enable the girls to sharpen their skills and feel more confident in game situations. This helps them when they play tournaments with each other as well as when they go back to their high school teams. I feel lucky to be able to share my love for lacrosse with all of these young women.

Mass Elite is a program for those top athletes looking to gain an advantage over the general population of lax players. In a day and age where players are picking up sticks as early as 5 years old, there needs to be a way for the serious lax player to gain that edge...Mass Elite is it.

Through my experience as a lacrosse player I have discovered that through teaching the sport I have retained everything I have been taught in the past eight years. Being able to share my passion with a team like Mass Elite is exciting because these girls are the athletes that understand how special it is to have the opportunity to play at the highest level of lacrosse. On this team, you share a love for the game that you cannot and will not find anywhere else. There are connections at this level of talent that you can't find anywhere else. As a player and a coach, I can only say that the best players in the world are no better than a Mass Elite player at their finest moment. Not all of what you are taught comes from your coaches. The best players dream lacrosse and want nothing more than to take their game to a higher level. The environment of Mass Elite is aggressive and demanding, but it is a small price to pay for the friendships and emotion that you find in this program.

I am honored to be a Mass Elite coach as well as a player.  It is so fun to be able to play with a great group of young women that take their game seriously, but still have a great time.  I believe that sports should be about teamwork, self-discipline, hard work, determination and a competitive spirit.  These attributes translate into success not only in athletics but in our lives in general.  Mass Elite team members exemplify this and that is why I am proud of all of them.

I have been a part of Mass Elite since the beginning and I cannot believe how much it has grown!! Mass Elite is a program for serious lacrosse players who want to move to the next level. It allows girls to develop their skills which they can bring back to their schools and help their teammates improve. Mass Elite has helped me become the lacrosse player I am today.
