The "Little Girls" Playing Chumash, The "Big Boys" Playing Hard!

I had so much fun last Sunday.  Not only did I get to watch two really good games that my son played in, but I got a chance to watch what Gwen calls the "Little Girls" play.  Can I just tell you that if you have even the tiniest cavity you might want to avoid watching these girls play lacrosse because they are incredibly sweet!!

The little ones play a modified version of lacrosse called Chumash.  In this version there is one tall thin goal in the middle of the field and each team fields 3 players (with one substitute allowed) and each team tries to score on their side of the goal.

With the little ones, the coaches are on the field and helping to teach the girls the basics of the game while the girls get a feel for cradling, shooting and playing a little defense.

If you get a chance to watch these little ones play you should take a minute our two and do so... it's great to see the future of the game growing with ones so young!  In the meantime, here are a few pictures of the game that I watched, as well as some from the "big boys" :)

And here are some U/13 Boys teams - Vicious & Delicious v. The Fighting Irish

It was a great game that was tied up by the Fighting Irish in the final seconds, went into overtime and was won by Vicious & Delicious with a 5-4 score.

And here in their second game of the day, Vicious & Delicious played against the Boys U/13 team, the Warriors.
