Fitness is extremely important, and good, healthy habits developed as a youth tend to stay with us as we grow older. Sports is a great way to stay fit, while having fun, and lacrosse is fast becoming the team sport of choice for Canadian youth. The fastest growing organized youth sport in Canada, lacrosse is similar to both hockey and basketball, in that it requires short bursts of high energy and allows for intervals for recovery. It is a stop and go sport that requires a lot of conditioning and strength, with an element of physical contact. Many schools now offer intense physical education and team sports programs, such as Vimy Ridge Academy in Edmonton, and youth programs are in place in most Albertan communities, leading to Canadian and US College opportunities, and possibly one of the Professional leagues. Lacrosse is a great way to stay in shape, meet great friends, have fun and be part of a team, but whether you are going for a walk, riding your bike, taking the dog out, or just tossing the Frisbee around, it’s important to be physically active.
