Lacrosse Personal Narrative
Lacrosse is a contact sport created by the North American Indians, in which the ball is thrown, caught, and carried in a long-handled stick with a triangular frame and shallow netting at one end. The sport is still played today, and is a known tradition in my family.
I first started playing when I was in fifth grade. I remember that season was dreadful. Our goal average was almost lower than our actual motivation to play the game. I was a part time goalie for that season,and I was probably the worst to ever play Aside from goalie I would play attack, or offense. I honestly can say I never touched the ball once that season.
