USA Lacrosse and the Sankofa Lacrosse Foundation have partnered to offer free youth clinics for boys and girls from underrepresented lacrosse communities.
USA Lacrosse works with local organizations to plan and implement the clinic, while Sankofa affiliated players serve as the clinicians providing the hands-on instruction. Programs and organizations that offer lacrosse participation opportunities in which a majority of the participants are ethnic minorities are eligible to apply for local clinics.
"I think it means the world for kids to have this opportunity because some kids never get introduced to the world of lacrosse due to their socio-economic background."
