This was so neat to be able to read early!! My husband coaches high school lacrosse and played himself growing up & all thru college! I wasn't ery familiar with the sport until we started dating.
Truthfully, I've struggled to really grasp it because I suck at it. Hahaha without having thrown and caught the ball successfully—and at speed—I feared I'd never understand (wow that sounds so dramatic on paper lmao). The science was a game changer!!!

I've gotten a much better feel for the sport both while reading as well as in retrospect. There are fun facts or images from this book that have stayed rent free in my mind since.

I'd highly recommend this book to kids and parents alike, esp if you—like me—haven't had the easiest time seeing the allure.

{Thank you bunches to Amy B. Rogers, Rosen Publishing Group & NetGalley for the DRC in exchange for my honest review!}
