Lacrosse Imformative Speech

[NateA]

I am going to have to deliver an imformative speech in the upcoming days and I was going to do lacrosse, but i cant think of specific things I could use as informative, i already did a speech on how to face off. Anyone got any ideas?

fundamentals and techniques...possibly history

Why you like it maybe, like how its sorta a mix of all sports.

Well, let's start this way. Who will you be informing?

[NateA]

a classroom with hmm 3 kids from korea, bball player from georgia, 3 hockey guys, a tennis player and me..and my teacher whos the assistant coach for the lax team..lol gotta love small prep school classes

I'd talk about how it's the perfect combination of finesse and strength.

[NateA]

That could go well, but i need research, data and everything..I was thinking of matching sticks up to go like "informing you today on the differences between Warrior whatever and Brine whatever" sound any good?

I did something similar. Just start at the beginning. Talk about the Indians, how they played, why they played, etc. Then just sort of transition into the game today. Where it is popular, how it is growing, positions, etc. Try to focus more on the game itself not technique. Remember it is an Informative speech, not an instructional speech.

That sounds good eclipse, any chance you still have it :) I was more than likely going to do one of the start of the game.

history and why you play it

Yes, most definitely liking the idea of history. The process of how it has evolved into a game, as I believe "crosses" were orignially used for hunting, is incredible. That would probably be really interesting too, and teachers love factual info...

You can speak about the history of your favorite program, or the history of the MLL, or NLL
--You might want to break the game down into something specific, because the game as a whole is kind of big.
OR you can speak about your favorite player, or your favorite position.

Lots of options...
