SPARKS, Md. — The fourth annual National Celebrate Lacrosse Week — set for Nov. 2-10, 2024— will feature over 80 Pick Up & Play clinics that will introduce new players to the sport. The clinics are spread across the country, with USA Lacrosse working alongside local lacrosse organizations to help provide pathways for players to continue exploring the sport.
All Pick Up & Play clinics are completely free for participants and all equipment needed to participate is provided. No previous lacrosse experience is needed. Clinics generally last 90 minutes to two hours and are designed as an introductory opportunity for new players. The clinics utilize stations to learn various lacrosse skills with lots of fun activities incorporated.
Part of this initiative is to make the sport of lacrosse more welcoming, diverse and inclusive. Individuals from every walk of life are welcome and encouraged to experience a sport that has so much opportunity for all youth.
Since launching the Pick Up & Play initiative in 2021, USA Lacrosse has had nearly 10,000 new players introduced to the sport through these clinics, held in conjunction with the annual National Celebrate Lacrosse Week.
