Lacrosse is returning to North Battleford, with league play starting in mid-March.
The sport, dubbed “Canada’s national sport” and often described as the fastest on two feet, will see a clinic hosted March 1 by the city’s Leisure Services department for those interested in learning the basics.
According to a recent press release from the City, the youth clinic will be from 12 – 1:30 p.m. and cost $5. An adult clinic will take place from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m. and cost $10.
Afterwards, the Battlefords Alpha Lacrosse League will start March 18 and run six weeks. Youth are scheduled for the 6:30 – 8 p.m. time slot while adults will play from 8 -10 p.m,,with all games held at NationsWEST Field House. Cost is only $40 and all lacrosse sticks and goggles will be provided; players are asked to bring their own helmets.
“Lacrosse is a great sport for building up your cardio and it’s one of the safest sports around,” said CUplex Assistant Manager Candace Dustan. “We’ll have an excellent player from the Saskatchewan Lacrosse association here for the clinic.
