Improve Your Balance, Agility, Hand-Eye Coordination
Box lacrosse is a fast paced sport, running, throwing and catching passes in small areas at amazing speeds. Players travel from one end of the arena to the other. The sport combines the tactics of basketball with the speed and aggression of hockey. It's simply a great game to watch and an even better game to play. It's a great way to improve a child's balance, agility, and hand-eye coordination.
"I'm just glad I played lacrosse. It taught me how to take a check."
Wayne Gretzky

Box lacrosse, also known as indoor lacrosse and sometimes shortened to box, is an indoor version of lacrosse played mostly in North America. The game originated in Canada, where it is the most popular version of the game played in contrast to the traditional field lacrosse game. It is played between two teams of five players and one goalie each, and is traditionally played on an ice hockey rink once the ice has been removed or covered. The playing area is called a box, in contrast to the open playing field of field lacrosse. The object of the game is to use a long handled racket, known as a lacrosse stick, to catch, carry, and pass the ball in an effort to score by ultimately hurling a solid rubber lacrosse ballinto an opponent's goal.
At the highest level, box lacrosse is represented by the Senior A divisions of the Canadian Lacrosse Association (Western Lacrosse Association of the British Columbia Lacrosse Association and Major Series Lacrosse of the Ontario Lacrosse Association), and the National Lacrosse League (NLL).
