My players are reaching out to families that can't afford to play organized sports. We are gathering youth equipment to start this project.
Our students are going to traveling to parts of our community that are less fortunate and providing the children in these areas an opportunity to have a stick and learn the game from my players.
So far it has been an outstanding success and the kids reached have been grateful.
My Project
My players and students will be using the lacrosse sticks to play and teach low income families the great sport of lacrosse. Many examples are already well documented that sports help build character and even motivate kids to do better in school. With the Lacrosse sticks and goals we can do our part to enhance the kids lives in our community.
This will not only change the lives of kids around our community but also change my players to open their eyes to the outside world.
So far they have run successful clinics and we plan to keep doing them as long as we have the supplies.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
