Lacrosse Is For Everyone • PBLA

Lacrosse is the fastest-growing sport in the United States among youth. Numbers are skyrocketing, and the amount of players joining the sport isn’t showing any signs of stopping. Why does everyone love this sport, and should your family start playing?

Lacrosse brings everyone together

Lacrosse is a relatively simple sport to pick up, especially if you’ve been playing other sports. It’s the perfect complementary sport that can improve hand-eye coordination, throwing, catching, passing, arm mechanics, and quick feet. Young athletes can benefit from playing multiple sports to hone skills and condition in the off-season.

If your child didn’t make the team in their chosen sport, lacrosse could be the answer. The great part about lacrosse is there’s a position for nearly every child, regardless of size and speed. And we’d be willing to bet they’ll love playing lacrosse, and will likely become their favorite sport!

Kids can start playing at a young age, and the cost is very low. It’s excellent for multi-kid families looking to try out several sports. And you just need a couple of players to start a pick-up game. Talk about an easy sport for the neighborhood kids to play after school, or kids to play multiple sports just for fun.

More opportunities to be involved

With such growth in the sport, it’s easy to find a local league to join and get involved. The opportunities are endless, whether you’re looking to play for fun or get your kids on the high school team. Lacrosse is a major sport for college athletes, opening up scholarship opportunities.

Learning a new sport is a great way to bring a family together. You can teach kids how to play fairly and what it’s like to be on a team. Parents can be more active with their children and create healthier habits as a family.
