M. Club Lacrosse: A Transitioning Team
All Sports Oct 13, 2016 Mihaela Karst -When Colton Raichl was in seventh grade, the employees of a local lacrosse shop in his home town of Bend, Oregon, came to his school. They let him use the equipment and taught him the art of lacrosse.
Raichl said this was the day he fell in love with lacrosse.
“Pretty much the moment I picked up the stick, I realized it was a lot different than any other sport,” Raichl said. “There are sports that have equipment that’s an extension, like a tennis racket or a golf club, but lacrosse is so unique.”
Raichl said the uniqueness comes from the variations of sticks to play with and the different ways to handle it.
