Failure for Moorestown girls lacrosse is not an option. This powerhouse lacrosse program had a winning streak of eighty-eight consecutive games. My sophomore year the program experienced their first loss in what seemed like forever. Continuously, the timer on the scoreboard got closer to triple zeros, everyone’s hearts went into their throats anticipating the end. The opposing team was up by one and were stalling the ball.
The Lacrosse Journey Just last week I had a crazy adventure and it included my favorite sport Lacrosse so let me tell you about it. So last week the Lacrosse maniac came into town and I had to battle him in a Lacrosse game. It was me against him. First I had the ball and I got around him with a spin
Lacrosse is a sport like no other. When one plays lacrosse it is an experience that can not be forgotten. It is important to know the four basic things about lacrosse. The first thing that is important to know, is how to pass, passing is helpful because in girls lacrosse, you need to pass three times before you shoot. The second thing one needs to know is how to cradle, when you cradle it keeps the ball in the stick, when one runs.
LACROSSE I will inform my audience about the offense, defense, and gear needed for the sport of lacrosse. What are the different types of plays and formations when the ball is on the offensive side? Lacrosse is a sport with a complex-looking outside, but a relatively simple inside. The offense of the sport is a great example of this. According to Lax Life, a Canadian lacrosse education website, “The ‘motion offense’ is a system that relies on getting the ball low (to the ‘crease position’) and then sending a series of cutters in a particular order (timing), with the ball carrier carrying the ball high and shooting, if no options present themselves.”
However, I ignored them and pursued my own objectives. In my freshman year of high school, I was the founder of the lacrosse club at my school. Apart from having a rigorous school schedule filled with honors classes, and being involved in football and FBLA, it was my responsibility to bring the club to life. I discovered my math teacher used to play college lacrosse, and I had always been interested in lacrosse. I approached him with the idea and he encouraged it and told me if I got the players, he would help coach.
Lacrosse is a growing sport throughout the United States being played by thousands of kids. Although lacrosse is an expensive sport people are willing to pay to play. It is the fastest game played on two feet which excites the fans. There are 250,000+ players across the nation and it is played at over 600 colleges and 2,000 high schools. A mixture of basketball, hockey, and soccer makes up this incredible sport.
It was the middle of January, dead of winter of my eighth grade year. Coach Brooklyn Howell, the Lady Cougars basketball coach came up to me and said “come tonight, 5:30 at Byrnes Freshman Academy to try out and see if you like lacrosse.” I did not really know if I wanted to play in the cold, because I was so used to playing in a warm gym during the cold winter months. Lacrosse really did not seem like a sport that I wanted to play. But I tried it out anyway.
Local lacrosse players are more than happy to point prospective players in the right direction. Southwest Sophomore and Mills farm resident Brady Shannon backed up this claim, saying “People are completely able to join lacrosse, just show up and you’ll find a spot on the team.” Lacrosse is welcoming to new players of all ages and athletic backgrounds. In fact, local high schools commonly welcome brand new players to their teams. It is a particularly popular option for students looking for a good off-season
My hard work and perseverance will speak for itself. My motivation was people telling me I would never be good enough to play lacrosse in college. I want to prove to them that they could not have been more wrong. I want to challenge myself to make them say “I knew that guy” whenever they hear my name or see me.
6 Things About Being a Lacrosse Player 1.It’s a Dangerous Sport You run around with giant metal 6 foot sticks whacking each other, this is just one of the many dangerous things in lacrosse. Because of this, injuries that happen most often in lacrosse are broken bones and concussions. Lastly you will most likely never leave a game without at least one bruise. But the risk is worth taking because lacrosse is a very fun sport.
Lacrosse is a wonderful sport to play, lots of fun doing it and lots of fun being a fan too. From the mid-1490s, of just a stick and a net attached to the end and some trees as goals to today's version of playing Lacrosse, it’s all the same sport.

There was a boy who went by the name jeffy he liked to play hockey and he was very good at it. He was about 5,10 had blonde hair with brown eyes, Jeffy was not the biggest kid he was pretty skinny. Everyday after school he would go to the Windom Arena and he would skate and practice playing hockey. One day after he was done skating he went upstairs to the dry land room and he was working on his clap bombs and and his top cheese snipes. When all of a sudden he heard a loud horn and a scream so he dropped his pucks and stick and quickly ran down stairs to see what was going on but when he arrived there was no one there.
He confronted my dad and told him that he believed I had what it takes to play in a more competetative league, Lacrosse Northwest. He told my dad that his daughter, Galena Clark, had played with the Rippers before and had had a wonderful experience. At first, my dad was hesitant about letting me play at such a competative level, but after talking to me about it, he realized that lacrosse was something I truly loved and wanted to become better at, so he let me sign up for tryouts for the 2017-18 travel team. Of course, I was excited for this, but I was also extremely nervous, so I did the only thing I knew would relive the stress: I started going down to that little green-gray wall and playing wallball almost every day, just like I had done in the offseason. I worked on everything I knew I needed to improve, especially using my left hand to pass accurately and catch confidently.
One of my best days was when my soccer team won the championship. I won several other championships ,but with other teams. This was my first season playing with this team. The major characters in this event were me, my teammates, my coaches and the parents. This event took place in a park at sanger during the summer.
Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.
