Lacrosse

Glenn Breazeale | Apr. 06, 2016

Lacrosse is a team sport of Native American origin and that has become very popular in the last ten years.  It is played using a small, solid rubber ball and a long-handled racquet called a crosse or lacrosse stick.  The lacrosse stick has a net on the end called the “head” where the ball is held.  Lacrosse is typically played outdoors, and engages all muscle groups in constant movement.  Lacrosse can help build endurance and stamina, and is considered to be a highly competitive sport.  Players are almost constantly moving as they attempt to maneuver the ball into the goal.

Like his own father, Glenn grew up as a camper at Alpine for six summers, coming from Jackson, MS each summer. He has served on staff at Alpine since 1997, working full time as Assistant Director from 2003 to 2005 and Director since 2006. Prior to that he gained experience serving in various capacities including cabin counselor, Head Counselor, Head of Project Adventure (Ropes course), Horseback instructor, and Program Director. Glenn’s love of camping and his desire to preserve the traditions of Alpine drew him back to camp to offer young boys the same opportunities he experienced. He met and fell in love with Carter during a Square Dance with Camp DeSoto.
