Improve Your Balance, Agility, Hand-Eye Coordination
Box lacrosse is a fast paced sport where the best players often look like gazelles, throwing and catching bullet passes in traffic at amazing speeds. In a blink of the eye the ball travels from one end of the arena to the other. The sport combines the tactics of basketball with the speed and aggression of hockey. It's simply a great game to watch and an even better game to play. It's a great way to improve a child's balance, agility, and hand-eye coordination.
"I'm just glad I played lacrosse. It taught me how to take a check."
Wayne Gretzky
Players should expect to play 2-3 times per week. This would include practices and league games. Although we have no restrictions on players playing other sports at the same time as lacrosse, we would certainly not recommend it. It is not fair to yourself, your teammates, or your coaches to make a team commitment and not be able to participate in as many team practices and games as possible. Most games are played Monday through Friday evenings between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM. The younger players are given the earlier time slots.
Participation in the sport of Box Lacrosse has proven to have fewer noteworthy injuries to its players than have been associated with hockey, baseball or soccer.
