The inaugural 3rd/4th grade lacrosse game in Washington took place
Sunday afternoon with Mercer Island and Bellevue squaring off to make
local lacrosse history. Players were in full gear and regular youth
rules were applied for this mach up. Both teams were successful
on ground ball pick-ups, making crisp passes, and physical play by
both squads. The game ended with a total of twelve goals being scored
in a 6-6 tie. The players battled through tough weather conditions to
make the first of many match ups between these two growing lacrosse
programs a successful one.
The primary focus of the 3rd/4th grade teams is learning the game,
playing on a team, and developing Lacrosse skills. Much smaller
emphasis is placed on winning, stats and scores. Both of these
programs are developing their young players into Lacrosse players with
a love for the game and sportsmanship.
