Westfield Youth Sports



Lacrosse is North America's oldest sport, invented by the indigenous people of the land. They believed the game was given to them by the creator, to be played for the creator. Also known as the creator's game, medicine game, little brother of war, baggataway, or tewaaraton; lacrosse is fast-paced and full of action. It is an exhilarating sport that requires agility, hand eye coordination and endurance. If your athlete enjoys playing hockey, football, basketball, or soccer; they will love the sport of lacrosse.
