I went to college at a small liberal arts school on the east coast. It was a beautiful campus with a broad, green lawn that invited students to sit and study, play Frisbee or just lie in the sun. On my first day at school, as I was walking past that lovely lawn, I noticed a group of guys playing something I hadn’t seen in person before: lacrosse. They were tossing a ball around with sticks that were fitted with nets at the top, and I stopped for a minute to watch. It was pretty fascinating, how easily they could catch and throw the ball with those sticks. It looked like a lot of fun, too.
Later, I saw my first lacrosse game, and it was far less laidback than the boys on the lawn had been! Here was a tough, athletic sport that required pads and helmets for safety. The players had physical strength and athleticism to spare, but they also had skills and style that were pretty amazing to watch. It was like the best parts of my favorite sports had come together into one: the brute force of football, the stick handling of hockey, and the open field of soccer, all right there in lacrosse.
I’ve since learned that lacrosse started with the Native Americans hundreds of years ago. Today, it’s played on college campuses and in tournaments and clinics all over, and even kids and teens can get in on the fun. In the northeast U.S., there’s a great source for lacrosse: Lacrosse Events.
Lacrosse Events has great coaches who know more about lacrosse than most of us could ever hope to know. They have clinics and training opportunities for kids who are eager to learn more about this exciting sport. They also help connect players to tournaments, and participants can register individually or as a team. Lacrosse Events is a great way to get better, get your game on and (possibly) even get spotted by a college scout or two!
