About Lacrosse

There are countless benefits when children play the great game of lacrosse including:

Mental Acuity

It takes discipline to play lacrosse; players will develop and strengthen this trait with consistent play. It may look to outsiders like a simple ball game, but the tactics for successful play and the skill development needed to play will take time and persistence to develop.

Increased Fitness

Lacrosse is a sport that requires a high level of fitness. The cardiovascular benefits of continuous running, sprinting, throwing and catching will keep a child fit and strong for the remainder of the time he or she plays the sport.

Socialization

Team sports are an excellent way to teach social interaction and how to work with others. Players work, sweat, plan and play together. Lacrosse will teach a child to set goals and accomplish those goals with the help of others, a vital real-world skill.

Productive Habits

Dedicating time to lacrosse can also teach a child the power of productive habits. Regular practice, healthy eating, getting enough rest, overcoming mistakes and failure, are habits that will be learned through lacrosse, and benefit the player for life.

Coordination

Catching a little ball in a cupped net, especially in the middle of a game, is much more difficult than it looks. Combine running and jumping and you have a recipe for great coordination.
