Lacrosse is a way for them to keep active, and also helps them to improve their skills so that they can get better for their spring season. It’s not a far ride and it helps with their skills each week. It is also a way for them to interact with other people and not just their same team. Without a coach, it is also a way for them to decide how they want to play and make the best decisions for their team. It is a way for them to be active and have fun all at once.
