Boys
Lacrosse Club Looking to Expand PARTICIPATION in Redmond, Duvall and Carnation

Fast Action Team Sport is Exciting to
Watch for the Parents and Even More Stimulating for the Players

Redmond,
Washington – November 1, 2013 – Are you and your son interested in trying out a
new sport? You might have heard of lacrosse or watched a game live or on
television. The sport is the fastest growing youth sport in the country and the
reason is clear; the sport is both fun to play and to watch. Registration for
the spring 2014 season with Redmond Lacrosse is now open at www.redmondlacrosse.com.

Lacrosse
is a quick paced sport where everyone
on the team plays. It is a high scoring, timed sport with no rainouts. Games
typically last an hour and a half. It is a sport that allows players to play
the sport and improve their skills as they advance through school. The
opportunity to play in college is also available. Boys who enjoy active sports
like soccer, football, baseball or basketball will enjoy lacrosse! The Redmond
Lacrosse Club provides an organized, safe, fun and competitive program for all
boys that live within the Redmond High School or Cedarcrest High School
boundaries.

As
a spring sport, our season runs from March through the end of June.  Lacrosse is a team sport of Native American
origin. It is played using a small rubber ball and long-handled stick called a
lacrosse stick.  The boy’s/men’s version
of the game is a contact sport which requires padding, cleats and a helmet. Each
team has ten players on the field at a time and the objective is to pass,
catch, shoot and defend other players. Teams are awarded one point for each goal
scored. It is fast paced like basketball, played on a big field like soccer, involves
passing, speed and teamwork. No matter what body type your son has, they can be
successful in lacrosse.

“If you or your son is unsure about lacrosse, I suggest you
come out and try the sport risk free at an upcoming Redmond Lacrosse Clinic”,
says Blair Busenbark, President of the Redmond Lacrosse Club, “Once your son
tries the sport out, they will be hooked on lacrosse because it is simply fun
to play.” For more information on these free lacrosse clinics go to the Redmond
Lacrosse website. Registration is open November 1 2013 through December
31, 2013. More detailed information about the program; fees and parental
commitment are at www.redmondlacrosse.com.
