WMLA Looking For Peanut Players to Learn the Game

Wallaceburg Minor Lacrosse is looking for Peanut age players, born between 2006 and 2009 to join their lacrosse organization this year.

“WMLA is offering this program to introduce the game of lacrosse in a fun, no pressure environment at a very reasonable cost,” said WMLA vice president Mike Persyn.

“There are many stories of people just not having exposure to this great game, when children play the fastest game on two feet, most become instantly addicted.”

The Peanut Lacrosse program will run 13 weeks, once a week starting the third week of April.

Lacrosse is an excellent sport to help children positively develop their motor skills as well as to get the recommended amount of physical activity for youth.

The 5 & 6 year olds will be playing regular exhibition games this year against Sarnia. The organization consulted with local child care professionals in order to plan this Peanut lacrosse program with a maximum benefit for the youth involved, and will partner with the local Wallaceburg Red Devils Junior B team to give youth an opportunity to interact with skilled teachers and mentors.

A special registration will be held April 7, and all new players will be given a free lacrosse stick. For more information, check out the poster below:
