Shocking though it may be for someone who blogs about the game, but it’s the truth: I have never played lacrosse. That will change tonight, as I’ll take part in my first-ever game in the Men’s Rec League at All-American Lacrosse in Pontiac.
I’m predicting my stick skills and everything lacrosse-specific will be not so pretty, but as a reasonably athletic 20-something guy, hopefully I’ll be able to hold my own a little bit. Visiting my parents’ house for Father’s Day this weekend, I took a trip up to my high school alma mater and shot around on the turf field there a little bit, and I’ll admit that didn’t exactly instill much confidence (maybe I should have called up some of my high school classmates who played, for a couple pointers).
Since summer is going to be a slow season around here, I’ll keep you updated on my summer-long journey into the breach.
