If you want to meet new people you might be interested in joining sports camps, particularly lacrosse camps.

Lacrosse goes way back to as early as 1100 AD as a form of entertainment by indigenous people on the continent. It has its roots from Canada and was already fully developed by the seventeenth century. It is now a very popular game especially in colleges and universities. It is a contact sport where people use sticks to catch and hold the ball to shoot it to the opponents goal.

There are four major forms of the game. There is the field lacrosse for men, another for women, also box lacrosse and intercrosse. The games for men and women are only slightly different to the fact the padding is a requirement for the males. The box type is played indoors during unfit conditions, and the last type is the non contact form of the game.

Playing this game has a lot of good points, one of which is increased mental acuity. Physical activity can divert your attention from problems you may be experiencing. Studies show that at least an hour of physical play is as effective as a small dose of antidepressant, which makes playing the sport beneficial from those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. The more you play, the more your body releases endorphin, the hormones responsible for a happier mood.

It also improves your social skills. Since this is a group effort, you will be able to mingle with others as you think of effective strategies to defeat the opposing team. There are also bigger chances of meeting new friends during camp activities.

This sport also helps you burn calories and keep your weight in check. You sweat out a lot from those hours of play. You move your entire body during the game. Indeed, this is like working out without feeling like working out. This is a good way for obese people to get rid of all those excess fats and become slimmer.

Once you get rid of all those fats, you start developing muscles. You do not have to lift weight and do crunches for a fabulous body, a game of lacrosse can reap you the same benefits for lesser pain and price. Since you move around a lot, you get to improve muscle strength even without all those expensive exercise equipment.

Sports camps, not only for this game, can benefit you in lots of other ways. Most of them are open for the summer in almost every city of every state. You just have to find one whom you like and you are off to a fun filled journey to health.
