The Lacrosse Communities Project is a US Lacrosse initiative to grow the sport in culturally segregated neighborhoods — starting this spring with a pilot program on Cleveland’s West Side.


US Lacrosse will provide equipment assistance for players, train coaches and offi cials, deploy its PE curriculum and soft-stick grants at schools and recreational centers, help underwrite a local coordinator and install a fi rst-of-its-kind small-sided lacrosse fi eld based on the Lacrosse Athlete Development Model (LADM) of teaching the sport “The Lacrosse Communities Project will bring together athletes of different races, ethnicities and income levels who might otherwise not have much contact with each other,” said Joshua Christian, managing director of sport development and hall of fame at US Lacrosse. “Our goal is to develop pathways for young people to grow in the sport.” Help US Lacrosse grow the game at uslacrosse.org/donate.
