Early Years

[edit]

At an early age, Charlotte North contributed her athletic abilities to many sports, including soccer, softball, tennis, track and field, field hockey and basketball. She played basketball at a high level for many years, always stating that she wanted to play in the WNBA when she grew up.[4] She played basketball at the AAU club level through her freshman year of high school before giving it up to focus on lacrosse.

Though she was always athletic and very into sports, North only began playing lacrosse in seventh grade at 13 years old.

Every night in high school, after finishing her homework, Charlotte would go play wallball for hours against the brick exterior of the all-boys St. Mark's School. This stickwork was "soothing" and "the most fun thing to work on" according to North.[5] At the Episcopal School of Dallas, North scored 372 goals on her varsity lacrosse team.
