As one would expect in a place like Casper, Wyoming, outdoor recreational activities such as hunting, fishing, hiking and skiing are quite popular. Lacrosse hopes to join that roster in the near future.

With support from USA Lacrosse, which provided sticks and other equipment, the Boys & Girls Club of Central Wyoming recently hosted a two-day event designed to introduce the game and empower youth. Providing hands-on skills training through clinics, and competition opportunities with a Flex6 tournament, the event drew over 200 youth participants.

Vin Savastano is proud to say that lacrosse is his family’s unofficial business.

Failure is an inevitable, healthy, and normal part of life — and a great way to “practice” failure is though youth sports. Being able to accept failure and also grow from it are skills, and testing those skills in low-stakes situations can have big payoffs later in life.

Dr. Aaron Dinin, who teaches an entrepreneurship class at Duke University called Learning to Fail, and TrueSport expert Kevin Chapman, PhD, a clinical psychologist, explain the benefits of failure and how you can use failure as your team’s secret super power.

There’s a popular saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Schuyler Horn, founder and executive director of the Lacrosse the Bay (LTB) youth program in Monterey, California, has no problem with that philosophy. After all, one of LTB’s most successful initiatives, its K-2 introductory experience for the youngest kids, came from flag football.
