Christian Barrera - Co-Director of Fields and Equipment

William Barrera - Co-Director of Fields and Equipment 

 

Christian and William are the dynamic brotherly duo of lacrosse.  Although they didn’t have the opportunity to play themselves, they have been intensely involved since Christian’s daughter began playing 3 years ago.  Christian’s son played his first year at MCPL last year. Christian and Will have been invaluable to both the boys and girls lacrosse programs and can be considered the muscle of the program as they are often the first to the fields setting up for game days.
