Hi my name is Grace Best I have a complant why is lacrosse not taught in P.E
I think that lacrosse should be taught in P.E because it is basically the same thing as floor hockey I teaches hand eye cordanation and it teaches inportint skills it involves running and teaches offense and defence.
Lacrosse is a game that looks a lot like field hockey and soccer, played on a large rectangular field with a goal at each end. The object is to score goals by getting a small, hard rubber ball into the goal, and the ball is carried and passed using a stick with a triangular pocket or basket at the end.(pbskids.org)
- A lacrosse team has 10 players: 3 attackmen, 3 midfielders, 3 defensemen, and 1 goalie.
- Although it looks more like hockey or soccer, lacrosse also has a lot in common with basketball. Offensive moves can include fast breaks and picks, while defensive strategies can include zone or person-to-person.
- Because the lacrosse ball is hard and travels at great speed, and because contact with other players is common, protective gear is always worn.(pbskids.org)
I also think that bcs can hold fun rasers like in the past and you don't have to use hard lacrosse balls you can yous tennis balls also you could switch of ever year from lacrosse to floor hockey
I think lacrosse is a great sport for kids and not alote of people know about it it is a great thing to teach and it is easy to learn also it is for boys and girls but the only thing is the boys have different sticks butit is ok for a girl to use a boy stick I also think that lacross should be Thought in gym because it is tought in other gym classes and it should be tought in ours (http://www.uslacrosse.org/resources/physical-education-curriculum.aspx)
