What a great opportunity to learn about the awesome sport of lacrosse from one of our very own Calgary Roughnecks player - Dan Taylor - who actually grew up just down the street and went to Andrew Sibbald School himself!

Learn a little more about the Calgary Roughnecks!

Learn a little more about the Elev8 Classroom Lacrosse program

Our first step was learning how to properly hold our sticks and scoop the ball up off the floor...we pretended we were scooping up our favourite kind of ice cream! Next Coach Dan showed us how to cradle the ball by rapidly rotating our sticks in half-turns while also holding our sticks a little more upright. Some of us even mastered a full rotation without letting the ball fall out of our pockets! Once we had got some of the basics under control we were ready to learn the over the shoulder pass!
