Youth programs

My topic for this paper is the emergence of Lacrosse, how/why it is growing so fast. Want to discuss stats in recent years of growth of game. Youth programs, high school, college stats.  Also, write about how it all started with the Native Americans and relate their “tribe” to my team because you have to connect this paper to your life and a tribe is a family just like my team was to me. Attatced is a draft I started.

 

So what you’re going to do in this assignment is to pick a topic related to sports and to do some research related to the topic.  You may choose a topic that you have personal experiences with, but you are not writing a memoir.  You may use your personal experiences playing high school field hockey to explore that sport and its status in American high school sports.  But the focus will be on field hockey.  Since this is not an academic essay, you don’t need an MLA Works Cited page.  You simply need a list of sources you used.  I do want the author or title of the article, as well as the link if it’s an online source.  But there’s no required number of sources.  In fact, my recommendation is that when you list sources, you list them in order of their importance in the piece.   If you use interviews, simply identify who you interviewed.

 

The essay should be at least 8 ages long, in font no larger than 12 point and is due on the last day of class.
