I have been playing lacrosse since I was three years old. I love the game and have even written papers on the origins of the game as well as great players of the lacrosse. I play defense but was initially a midi, then attack, and played goalie for a few years until I finally found my preferred position.
I play for my high school varsity team and this past spring, we won the division pennant for the first time in my school 's history. It was a proud moment and to see the division champion pennant hanging in the gym with all the other sports pennants.
I also play on travel club teams in the summer and fall. I love these teams because I get to meet players from other areas of the state and I feel mixing it up really helps to strengthen my game.
Now if you have no idea what lacrosse is I can explain a bit of the rules. First of all there are 24 people on the field counting goalies and the other team. There are defenders, attackers, and midfielders just like in soccer. The goal of the game is to get the ball down the field and score like soccer. When I was at my first game, I had played defense.
Lacrosse has changed so much over the years, it has gone from a mainly indian tribe sport to “The fastest sport on two feet”(Wikipedia). Lacrosse was brought by the Native American tribes and they started playing lacrosse in the fifteenth century. People like lacrosse because you get to feel athleticism,toughness.hitting and teamwork all felt in sports from football to basketball. The game started to become popular in 1856 when the first lacrosse program which was the MLC (Montreal lacrosse club) appeared.
The activity I enjoy outside of my classes is Lacrosse. I started playing Lacrosse in third grade by joining the Farmington Youth Lacrosse team. Lacrosse is something I care about because it is something I am good at and enjoy playing. I also like being on a lacrosse team because it helps me work together with other people and collaborate on group projects in school. What keeps me playing lacrosse is there is always something you can do better and trying to be the best you can be is fun and challenging.
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.
As you run down the field cradling the lacrosse ball in your stick, it feels like every other girl is barreling toward you at full speed. There is no better feeling, though, than to shoot the ball and watch it sail past the goalie into the net. Growing up in Baltimore, lacrosse is practically a religion. However, I never really felt any interest in lacrosse. In the Spring of my junior year, one of my friends begged me to try out for my high school’s lacrosse team.
I was so shy throughout my life that I didn't know how to make friends. Joining a team sport has allowed me to open myself up to not only everyone on the team, but to people outside of the group. Now, I have the biggest support system in my life. My team has been here for me since freshman year and I'm grateful for that. They listen to me when I need to vent, push me to my full potential and bring me up when I’m down.
Lacrosse has been part of my life since before I was even born. My mother, uncle, and cousins played, so it was only natural that I picked up a stick as well. I started playing at a young age and am grateful to have the opportunity to continue playing now at the collegiate level. However, for all the time that I have spent competing in the sport, there is another, more unique side to the game that I am also quite experienced in. I began refereeing for youth players in early high school and have continued to this day.
Professional athletes earn millions of dollars a year for playing the sport they love. Many individuals try to make it in the NHL but never come close to what it takes. In order to be successful in anything, I would have to put in countless hours towards my goal. To be a Professional Hockey player, one would need to work harder than anyone else. I would have to go the extra mile everyday.
Another great thing about being part of a team is that you pick each other up. For example if somebody is feeling down it is your team 's responsibility to lift you up. There is no greater feeling than being a lacrosse
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. Whether it's being a Goalie, Attacker, Midfielder, or a Defender they all help the whole team and play as one team. It doesn't matter if you're young or old or the best player in the world to being a beginner they all to do it no matter if it is for fun or it's your
I have played volleyball for six years now. Our volleyball season can revenue three months longer. This past season I was on the junior varsity team. In the upcoming season I will be playing on the varsity team. These teams prepare myself for my future because they help me learn how to collaborate with others.
Participating in sports highlights my ability to work with teammates and focus in difficult situations. I have been captain on my volleyball team since seventh grade and captain on my club volleyball team for the last two years. Each year
I’m involved with many sports outside of school. For example, I play Field Hockey, Lacrosse, and
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.
