New to lacrosse?
Lacrosse is the oldest game in North America. Its origins date back hundreds of years as a tribal game played by many Native American peoples.
To the native people it's a gift and a medicine given to us by the creator. It is a staple of their culture, an aspect of what we would call their religion.
Everyone can find strength in lacrosse
One of the things that sets lacrosse apart from many other sports is that you can find success in variety of ways. Lacrosse is not a one size fits all type of sport. It encourages the development of strengths that are naturally found within each individual.
