Coaches Comments: ​​

• Kayla is a pure athlete! Fast, aggressive, great communicator. She is a leader on the defense-understanding how to slide and double when necessary. Her speed is evident in transition as she creates offensive opportunities blowing by players on the field. She is a lock down 1v1 defender- often times marking up on top players attackers to shut them down. She is a great teammate & works hard every single time she is on the field! -- Crysti Foote (CLC Pride Elite Coach)
  
• Kayla Garske is a top defender with Division I speed and footwork. Kayla is extremely adept at reading her attacker and stopping any dodging attempts with her quick feet and toughness. She has fantastic defensive knowledge and high IQ for approaching on angles, timing for slide and double teams and locking down offenses. Her explosive speed can grab a ground ball out of a scrum and start a drive downfield at a very high rate to start fast breaks and the offensive push. Kayla Garske is a prime candidate in the Top 22 Showcase. -- (Beth Larkin Glen Ridge High School Varsity Coach)
