Lacrosse is one of the most inclusive and dynamic sports out there – the fastest sport on two feet as they say. Whether your child is a seasoned competitor, a multi-sport athlete, or just starting their athletic journey, lacrosse has something to offer.

Lacrosse is a game that is truly for everyone, blending elements from various sports. Think the endurance of soccer, the physicality of hockey, and the strategy of basketball. This unique combination makes it accessible and exciting for athletes with diverse abilities and interests.

New to sports? Big Walnut Lacrosse offers a welcoming environment for players to learn the fundamentals while developing confidence and teamwork.

Already play another sport? Lacrosse enhances skills like agility, hand-eye coordination, and strategic thinking that benefit athletes across disciplines.

Playing multiple sports is a great way to avoid burnout, prevent overuse injuries, and develop a well-rounded athletic skill set. Lacrosse is particularly beneficial for athletes looking to cross-train:

• Football players gain agility and stamina.
• Soccer players enhance spatial awareness and passing precision.
• Basketball players improve defensive skills and quick decision-making.

Playing lacrosse gives athletes an opportunity to strengthen their overall athleticism while bringing fresh skills back to their primary sport.

Lacrosse Is a Unique Culture
Lacrosse isn’t just a sport — it’s a culture. We often talk about our “lacrosse family,” where we strive to be a positive experience for players, parents, and fans alike. The balance of teamwork and individual skill allows players to grow at their own pace while contributing to a greater goal of the team.

A Sport for Every Size and Skill
Lacrosse caters to all body types and skill sets:

• Attackers rely on quick footwork, on-field vision, and precision to score.
• Defenders use strength and strategy to shut down opponents.
• Midfielders showcase endurance and versatility, learning both offense and defense.
• Goalies display sharp reflexes and courage standing tall in the net.

No matter your size or skill level, there’s a place for every child on the field.

Why Start Now?
Lacrosse continues to grow in popularity. Here in Big Walnut, boys and girls in 1st through 6th grade can play on spring teams through Big Walnut Lacrosse Association. Older players in middle and high school can try out for their school’s team. High school players have the opportunity to go on to play at the collegiate and/or professional levels. Starting lacrosse now opens doors to a lifetime of athletic and personal growth – but no player should begin their journey with the sole goal of an athletic scholarship.
