Year 7 and 8 students from the Academy experienced a day of Pop-Lacrosse coaching at the Armitage Centre in south Manchester to celebrate the start of the 2010 FIL World Lacrosse Championships which will be held at the Manchester University Sports grounds, The Firs.

Students got to meet international players, coaches, and also received quality coaching and took part in a tournament where they won two games, drew one and lost another.Nevertheless students came away from the event having learnt a great deal in addition to experiencing a new sport in which the majority had never played before.

All students whom accompanied Academy Sports Co-ordinator Miss Sanderson had a fantastic day and she would like to thank and congratulate all those involved.
