Spring/Summer Lacrosse 2018

Well, it's official, all Zappia offspring can claim they play "acrosse."  Our gummy bear, Coco hit the recruiting circuit early.  She was asked to play on the pre-school, intro-to-lacrosse, boys team this spring.   She loves playing with her best friend, Jordana and always reports to us how many goals she scores.  Nevermind that the goals she scores are on on unmanned goal during shooting drills.  Her favorite part is playing on the playground after practice and she also really enjoys the water breaks.  

For her part, Adrienne tends to control the field when she's playing in games.  She scores many goals and is Queen of the ground ball.  She towers above many of the other kids at this point, which helps, but she also appears to have some natural ability.  All of the time spent battling her brother in the yard has been phenomenal training for her.  She's headed off to Nazareth Girls Lacrosse camp this summer as well as Brighton's Sharp Shooters camp.  She is very excited to move up the the 3/4 division next year.

Our lacrosse glutton, Luke seems to take advantage of as much time on the playing field as possible.  He plays winter box lacrosse, spring town team lacrosse, Flyers travel team lacrosse, and a 3D travel team lacrosse.  Currently he is schedule to practice or play in games every.single.day of the week including both weekend days.  He plays a different position for each team so that means we travel with a ton of lacrosse equipment.  We'll be headed all over upstate NY as well as Maryland for the current season's games.  

And because of all this, we've turned into "those" people who eat on the run - often in the car, travel with a spare set clothes for every weather condition and are regularly pulling a wagon with folding sports chairs and random other junk.
