A beginner lacrosse game called “Sharks and Minnows”. In this game, one or two kids start as sharks in the middle, while the others try to cross from one side to the other without being tagged. If a minnow is tagged, they become a shark. The goal is to cross as many times as possible. The minnows have lacrosse sticks and must carry the ball to the other side. The sharks do not have sticks and only run to tag the minnows.
The lacrosse game “Sharks and Minnows” offers several benefits, especially for young and beginner players:
Improves Agility and Speed: Kids need to run quickly to avoid being tagged, which enhances their agility and speed.
Develops Hand-Eye Coordination: The minnows must cradle the ball while running, which helps improve hand-eye coordination.
