🥍 Navarre Youth Lacrosse Families — Let’s Support Our High School Programs! 🏒
Join us for Ice Pirates Night with the Pensacola Ice Flyers on Sunday, February 7 at 4:05 pm and help support the Navarre High School Lacrosse teams!

Lacrosse is one of North America’s oldest team sports, with roots in Indigenous communities long before the United States existed. It is an amazing game because it combines skills we see across so many sports:

🏀 Basketball: Footwork, spacing, picks, defensive positioning, boxing out, transition play, and teamwork.
🏒 Hockey: Substitutions on the fly, goalies protecting the net, offsides, fast transitions, physical play, and constant movement.
⚽ Soccer: Field awareness, endurance, passing into space, communication, and team defense.
⚾ Baseball: Hand-eye coordination, tracking a fast-moving ball, throwing, catching, and quick reactions.
🏈 Football: Dodging defenders, reading the field, teamwork, fast changes of possession, offensive and defensive schemes, and the toughness to keep competing through every play.

That is part of what makes lacrosse such a great sport for athletes of every background—and why hockey is such a fun game for our players and families to experience together!
Tickets are $25, and $5 from every ticket sold goes directly to support Navarre High School Lacrosse. Please see the attached fundraiser graphic for ticket information and the purchase link. The fundraiser ends January 24.

Come enjoy a great night of hockey, support our high school players, and help build the future of lacrosse in Navarre—from K–8 all the way to high school!

🥍 WHY SHOULD YOUR CHILD TRY LACROSSE?

Already playing football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball or another sport?

PERFECT.

Lacrosse is one of the BEST sports for multi-sport athletes. It develops:

⚡ Speed & agility
👀 Hand-eye coordination
🧠 Quick decision-making
💪 Endurance
🤝 Communication & teamwork

And here’s something you might not know…

🎓 LACROSSE OFFERS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY AT THE NEXT LEVEL.

According to NCAA participation data, approximately:

🥍 14.7% of boys’ high-school lacrosse players go on to play NCAA lacrosse
🥍 14.0% of girls’ high-school lacrosse players go on to play NCAA lacrosse

Compare that with:

🏀 Boys Basketball — 3.6%
⚽ Boys Soccer — 5.9%
🏀 Girls Basketball — 4.7%
⚽ Girls Soccer — 7.9%

But college isn’t why we want your child to try lacrosse.

WE WANT THEM TO TRY IT BECAUSE IT’S FUN! 🥍

At NYSA Lacrosse, we’re a recreational program focused on teaching fundamentals, developing athletes, building great teammates and having FUN.

Never played before? That’s okay!

Bring us your football player.
Bring us your soccer player.
Bring us your basketball player.

Or bring us the kid who hasn’t found their sport yet. ❤️
