He doesn't study a lot for the tests but he doesn't have bad grades. He helps me and I help him. In football he plays well but he cheats a lot. He likes a girl but this girl doesn't like him. He and I are the funny people in the class. I play Fortnite with him but he doesn't play very well. He's my best friend.

However, in Portugal there are some unpopular, such as ‘Lacrosse’. So what does this sport consist of? Lacrosse is a team sport played with a small solid rubber ball and a long cable bat called a crosse or lacrosse bat. The head of the Lacrosse club is tied with a loose knitwear, designed to catch and hold the lacrosse ball. The goal of the game is to score, throwing the ball at the opponents’ goal, always using the lacrosse stick to capture, carry, pass the ball and score points. In Portugal, the only team of this modality are the “Gladiators”. And according to the members of this team, this is a modality in which people should be involved more because it increases team spirit as well as develops and requires a lot of mental and physical strength. Why not learn more about this sport and try it out? If you would like to have more information about the practice of Lacross, just contact the Association “Lisbon Gladiators Lacrosse”.
