Choose Lacrosse if…

Before you commit

Callisthenics

  • Being stuck on basics that look easy would wound your ego.
  • You need fast, visible gains rather than slow incremental ones.
  • Solitary repetitive bodyweight reps with no machine sounds dull to you.

Lacrosse

  • Weeks of dropped balls and sore hands learning to scoop would frustrate you.
  • You'd rather set your own pace than sprint on someone else's whistle.
  • Relying heavily on teammates and taking checks isn't your thing.
