Why Play Lacrosse??
Why Kids should play Lacrosse
Lacrosse isn’t just a sport—it’s an experience! Known as the fastest and most dynamic game on two feet, lacrosse offers kids a unique blend of fun, fitness, and life skills. It’s more than a game—it’s a journey of personal growth:
- Stay Active and Healthy: Build strength, agility, and endurance through high-paced action.
- Sharpen the Mind: Quick decision-making on the field improves mental acuity.
- Build Lifelong Skills: Develop teamwork, communication, and leadership while forging new friendships.
- Fun for All: Kids love playing, and parents love watching!
As Canada’s official summer sport, lacrosse is deeply rooted in our history. It’s one of the country’s oldest organized sports and remains a proud tradition.
Why Hockey Players Should Play Lacrosse
Looking for the perfect complement to hockey? Lacrosse is a natural fit! Countless NHL legends, including Wayne Gretzky, have played and loved the game—and for good reason.
Here’s why hockey players excel in lacrosse:
- Skill Crossover: Stickhandling, quickness, and agility around the net translate seamlessly between both sports.
- Stay Fit in the Off-Season: Keep your fitness levels high with a fast-paced, cardio-heavy game.
- Boost Offensive and Defensive Skills: Sharpen scoring techniques with precision shooting and enhance defensive strategies with strong positioning.
- Develop Leadership and Teamwork: Build self-esteem, respect, and sportsmanship on and off the floor.
- Prevent Burnout: A fresh, exciting sport keeps players engaged while learning new strategies.
- Opportunities Abound: With U.S. college scholarships and growing recognition, lacrosse offers exciting pathways for young athletes.
Did you know over 60% of players in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) are from Ontario? It’s a testament to the incredible synergy between lacrosse and hockey.
