Lacrosse Season Underway for Diego

Diego started his 2nd season of Lacrosse about 3 weeks ago.  He has tried many different sports, but I think he has found "his sport" with Lacrosse - he absolutely loves it.  It's got the right mix between the fast pace, aggressive nature of the sport along with the fact that it's a very technical sport that requires good team skills to be able to get in position and score (kind of like ice hockey).  Last weekend, they held their first games - it was actually a charity tournament for a local family (he was a Lacrosse coach in our league last year) who were struck by lightning while loading dirt bikes up during a sudden rain storm.  The coach, his 13 year old boy and 15 year old boy where all struck as the truck/trailer was near a tree that was hit.  The 15 year old got the worst of it - he actually was in full cardia arrest for a short period of time.  Their medical bills to rehabilitate him are enormous so the league put together an invitational tourney.  It was a lot of fun.  We played 5 times over 2 days.  It was great "pre season" experience for the boys.
