Back on the lacrosse fields! Our U27 players were allowed to train again tonight after a very long break, exciting! Also, the new pinnies arrived just a week ago, so perfect timing for using them during this first training.

Now let's hope that our 27+ team mates also can join again soon! 'Cause lacrosse is a team sport and it's not the same without ALL lions present on the fields.

Lacrosse during the Amsterdam Olympics games of 19

Lacrosse during the Amsterdam Olympics games of 1928.

Lacrosse was chosen to be demonstrated to the world during the summer of 1928. It was the first time lacrosse was played in the Netherlands and the sport baffled Dutch journalists and spectators. The teams, from Canada and the United States, played each other with such force that sport journalists praised it to not be played in the Netherlands, as it would surely increase sport related injuries.

Unfortunately the sport did not have its big break in the Netherlands until the beginning of the new millennium. Apparently it took the Netherlands a little while to adapt to the ferocity of the sport, but when it did it gained a great sport which all who play it fall in love with ♥️🥍

For more information about the first appearance of lacrosse read the full (Dutch) article via the link: https://sportgeschiedenis.nl/olympische-spelen/nederlandse-pers-in-1928-lacrosse-is-geen-sport-voor-zwakke-knapen/

Corona has made it very difficult to stay in touch with each other. The lack of teamsport can be very challenging. Please don't hesitate to reach out to your teammates ❤️🦁

Posted @withregram • @europeanlacrosse – 12 DAYS OF LAXMAS – Day 2 –

Meet @Liset.vdHorst

🇳🇱 A 16-year-old from the Netherlands who grew up playing lacrosse in the garden with her dad and brother, to playing for the @jeugd.amsterdamlacrosse, @amsterdamlionslacrosse before switching to @domstaddevilslacrosse last year, and Women's Dutch National Team U20 @wdntu20 . She still continues to practise with Women's Amsterdam.

🥍 Liset just recently sat her umpire test to which helps her in her role of Captain for youth team. She enjoys coaching and giving tips to the younger players of her team on how to improve, as she herself is a young player still, so can use this to connect with them better. She encourages her generation to try out niche sports like lacrosse and loves to witness many new players fall in love with lacrosse on their first try. She plans to be a coach or referee when she grows up!

📈 Like her brother, she would like to take a gap year in America to play lacrosse, but her ultimate goal is to be part of the Olympics Lacrosse Team and represent her country. Due to an accident, she endured last year, which prevented her from practising properly for a year. Liset is slowly building up her strength and motivation to reach her dreams. Her perseverance and strive inspires us and we wish Liset all the best with her health and progress.

🎅🏻 Families in the Netherlands would put their shoes at the window or below the chimney for seven days on the 28th of November, to receive a present from Sinterklaas. ‘Package evening’ on the 5th of December, is when families exchange gifts and play games. Liset and her family typically spend Christmas day spending time together whilst having an in-house barbecue.
