Blogging Backlog: Connor & Lacrosse!

For the longest time Connor has been wanting to play Lacrosse. This last fall when Jaxon got to play Football and Porter got to play Flag Football we promised Connor he would get his turn in the Spring. I have cousins who play and Connor has always looked up to all of them so much. I think this may be what started the ball rolling for him because it didn't have anything to do with mom and dad! We didn't know anything about the sport! I have a cousin who plays for the BYU Lacrosse team. He had a stick that he didn't use anymore and so he gave it to Connor. Connor was so excited I think he actually slept with it for a night or two! Another cousin was able to lend us a helmet. It is a good thing we had family to help us because even with this help (these are the 2 most expensive pieces of equipment) it cost us $100! And that is just the equipment! Sports are expensive! But it is worth it! We have already seen such an improvement in Connor in the last couple of weeks! He is more sure of himself and finally figuring out how to work his legs!

Neither West Jordan or Copper Hills had enough boys to make a team so they combined them. They practice at West Hills Middle School so that made the perfect name! Go West Hill Lacrosse!
