Parkcrest had the privilege in welcoming Coach Jamie from the Burnaby Lakers Lacrosse team into our school. We had the opportunity to receive two lacrosse lessons. We had an in-depth look at the safety equipment that is used by each player in the game, as well as the proper equipment that is used in the game.
During the first lesson, we learned the fundamental skills that are used in the game. Once we were comfortable and confident with the taught skills, we then played some games.
Like many group sports, Lacrosse serves many benefits to your child’s well being.
- It will instill a sense of discipline in your child that will spill over to everyday life.
- The game of Lacrosse requires players to be alert and observant, as a result this will improve mental agility and concentration levels in your child.
- Lacrosse will teach the importance of patience to your child, as it involves a lot of practice and patience to get a scoring goal on the field.
- Playing Lacrosse also involves an immense amount of physical exercise. It will help to improve your child’s overall mental and physical development.
- As Lacrosse is a team sport, your child will learn how to interact with different people and reach a common goal. It will improve your child’s social skills as well as learn to read body language.
