US Lacrosse

History of LacrosseThere are many websites and books written about the history of lacrosse.

The more you read, the more you will see that Lacrosse is a true American sport. We all see how American sports have become an important part of our culture and has helped define who we are. To the Native American, Lacrosse was even more a part of who they were than football or baseball is to our society today. To some, playing the sport of lacrosse gives them a connection to the young Indian warrior who played this game five hundred years ago.

E-Lacrosse has a wonderful history of Lacrosse.  A great read. (click on the E-lacrosse to go to their website)

Coaches Needed
Merritt Island Lacrosse is in need of coaches for the 2011 season. Prior coaching experience in lacrosse is great but not necessary.  Coaching experience with basketball, football, or any other sport is fine - we can teach you this exciting game.  Also, if you want to help and have never coached, that is fine.  Contact Al Dolente at milacrosse@yahoo.com for more info.
