Why Play Lacrosse?
Lacrosse is an incomparable sport!
It’s known as “The fastest sport on two feet!” It combines many other sporting skills and can create a versatile athlete. It’s challenging, a lot of fun and adds the opportunity to be part of a team and make new friends.
Can I Play Rep / Should I Play?
The concept of our program being "Rep" should not scare away new participants. Over the past 3 season since BMLA restarted Girls Field program, many new players started playing lacrosse. Usually our Rep Team-2 are placed at the lowest level of league competition.
There are many good reasons to consider playing field lacrosse:
-Outdoor play.
-Larger playing field emphasizes the ability to find space.
-Different sticks / rules emphasizes stick skills and hand-eye coordination.
-As players get older the game emphasizes position specific skills. The result is a position for all players regardless of speed, size or skill set. There is a role for everyone!
As players get older there are opportunities to play at a higher level:
-Several local private lacrosse organizations exist that travel to the US and play in tournaments.
-Field lacrosse programs are offered at many Canadian universities.
-Field lacrosse is a more popular version of the game in the US and opportunities exist for players to play at the US level via scholarships.
-Field lacrosse is played internationally and is under consideration to be added as an Olympic sport.
Thinking about playing? You should! See this video to see how much fun our U11-1 team had in 2022.
