The Stampede coaches also held a series of six training sessions called the Summer Skill School. Twenty nine players of all ages participated, with about half enjoying their first exposure to our great sport.
Lacrosse is the oldest North American sport, originally played by Native Americans, primarily in the northeastern United States and Canada. The game has evolved and is now played at over 400 colleges and 1200 high schools nationwide and according to the Sporting Goods Manufacturering Association is the fastest growing team sport in the world. Played on a field equivelant to a soccer field, the game combines the ball movement of soccer, set plays of basketball along with the physical aspects of hockey and football. Lacrosse is known as "the fastest game on two feet."
