NEW TO LACROSSE?

First of all… join the club! We get it — lacrosse is a new sport for many families here in the Midwest. Most of us grew up playing baseball, soccer, or football and knew little (or nothing!) about the game at first. To help bridge that “Lacrosse IQ” gap, we host Lacrosse 101 session for parents who want to learn the basics. We cover fun and common questions like: “What’s a face-off? Can they really hit each other with sticks… and doesn’t that hurt? Why do only half the players cross mid-field?”…Contact us to find out more!
