This sets them up for success in the real world, whether it's in the office or around the dinner table. (You're welcome, parents.)

Lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America
Get ready to party like it's 1499! Spanning back to the 17th century, lacrosse showdowns weren't just games—they were epic events that could stretch for days! Imagine a showdown where up to 1,000 folks from different villages or tribes duked it out on the field. Talk about a throwback bash!
Modern-day lacrosse is like a cool remix of the stickball games our Native American pals used to rock, specifically the Iroquois people.

Lacrosse is one of the safest contact sports.
Time for a fun fact that'll have you high-fiving in no time. According to the wise folks at the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (CHIRPP), lacrosse players are like the superheroes of the sports world! We boast just two-thirds the bumps of soccer players, half the knocks of hockey enthusiasts, and only one-tenth the bruises of football and rugby buffs.
