Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. National Celebrate Lacrosse Week wrapped up in style.
As part of the week-long event, Pick Up and Play clinics were hosted across the country. In total, USA Lacrosse held 39 clinics during National Celebrate Lacrosse Week.
Some heavy wind and rain didn’t stop us from having a blast with @EyekonzSports and @USA_Lacrosse today, as we spread the game to a lot of new enthusiastic players in North Philly pic.twitter.com/9Rggtn8nGQ
