What You Gain from Playing Lacrosse

Socialization

Team sports are an excellent way to promote social interaction and teamwork. Lacrosse teaches players how to set goals and accomplish them with the help of others, a vital real-world skill. Overcoming obstacles within a team helps develop lifelong friendships.

Coordination

Lacrosse players benefit from the training of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Combine catching a small ball in a cupped net with running, jumping and blocking, and you have a recipe for coordination that will benefit players for a lifetime.

Mental Acuity

It takes discipline to play lacrosse. The tactics and skill development take time and dedication to develop. Players benefit from the mental discipline as well as regular exercise, which is shown to improve mood and performance in school and work.

Endurance

Lacrosse combines the skills of basketball, soccer and hockey into a fast-paced, high endurance test of strength and agility on a field roughly the size of a football field.
