Lacrosse!
We have just completed a very FUN mini-unit on the game of Lacrosse! Though Lacrosse is not as popular around here as soccer or basketball or football, it is certainly gaining momentum in it's appeal to kids in Washington. The kids have been learning and practicing the basic skills of lacrosse: Cradling, Scooping, Passing and Catching! It's been fun to see the growth in all kids from just 2 weeks of exposure to something new. There are many neat lacrosse programs and camps in our area and I would recommend you looking into it if lacrosse is something your child expresses interest in! Lacrosse provides great competition for both boys and girls alike, and incorporates a great deal of exercise.
