TRAINING
Before a girl can really learn to play lacrosse, she needs to learn to throw and catch a lacrosse ball. This is a challenging skill and requires practice but most girls can develop a good throwing and catching base before too long. In order to help facilitate progress for beginners, Westside will offer beginner wall ball and throwing and catching sessions. Beginner players can get together and learn with players at a similar skill level.
