Lacrosse

Lacrosse has been a big part of our PE curriculum since 2012. We worked with English Lacrosse Development Officer for NW England for 6 years and then Morgan a lacrosse coach and this really helped us to develop this fast moving and inclusive sport in school, providing lacrosse coaching for Year 2, 3, 4 and Year 5 and 6. We really enjoyed attending competitions and, although they were paused during the pandemic, we very much hope competitions will begin again soon. Lacrosse sessions are very active, inclusive, challenging and fun, with opportunities for everyone to stretch and challenge themselves. We funded the coaching sessions using our PE and School Sport Fund.

With our 2021-22 premium we have been able to buy some more lacrosse goals which will allow us to run several games alongside each other during lessons.

During our sessions

  • We create our own fun warm up exercises,
  • Practise dodging and marking skills and strategies.
  • We use and apply these skills using our lacrosse  sticks with a partner and  in teams.
  •  We learn how to work together as a team, collaborating and communicating to move the ball up and down the lacrosse pitch
