Lacrosse players don’t typically hit their teens and realize they’d like to venture into the box to play in this fast and competitive sport.
There’s usually more of a build up. And that’s why the Langley Minor Lacrosse Association are hosting a series of fun sessions this month open to young boys – and girls – between five and 10 years old.
Taking over the fieldhouse at the Langley Events Centre, the kids are being getting a chance to give Canada’s national sport a try – no experience required.
In fact, organizers say the FUN Lacrosse – as it is dubbed – is only open to new players. They can not have been registered in minor lacrosse before.
Sticks and balls are provided. The only equipment required is appropriate footwear and a helmet. Organizers suggest that could be a hockey, lacrosse, or bike helmet, for this purpose.
The sessions are being led by Langley Minor Lacrosse coaches and players, and are divided based on age groupings.
FUN Lacrosse is co-ed.
The sessions run for four week, with two sessions already complete, and two more to go (Jan. 22 and 29).
The cost is $20 and to register (assuming there’s still room) or to get more information, people can email FUNlaxlangley@gmail.com.
