Lacrosse development and growth in Rwanda.

Rwanda Lacrosse Program kick's off with Clinic to introduce the game by 2 instructors from Uganda.

As days continue to come closer to the East Africa Lacrosse 7's, tournament to be hosted in Kampala Uganda 12th/August/2017 the administrators on ground continue to work tirelessly to grow the game.

Most recent is Jaffari Makanda Ibrahim (PRESIDENT-UGANDA LACROSSE ASSOCIATION) together with Musinguzi Ronnie (Ass Capt YMCA Warriors Lacrosse Club) finally kick started the Rwanda lacrosse program that has long been discussed and finally begun in high gear.

Rwanda Lacrosse teams both women and men will be expected to grace the EA7's later in the year to benchmark and grow their experience in the highly talent scheme of athletes.

SOS Technical High school will be the center for Lacrosse development and growth in Rwanda . Thank you director Kiba Muvunyi and Brian Kirungi.

 Musinguzi Ronnie is resident in Kigali Rwanda for a total of two weeks to fully orient the players on this new sport that holds enormous potential and the results of reactions of the athletes are positive.
 

Play ground infrastructure made available to start Rwanda Lacrosse Program.

 African lacrosse communities have responded greatly positive in adopting and learning the game of lacrosse as Uganda,Kenya,Rwanda,Zambia and South Africa take the lead.

Together with the global lacrosse community, our lovely sport will return to the Olympics stage and this is a collective responsibility.

 Lacrosse has never been as hyped as it is in the world today due to it's acceptance in the African sporting culture. The game that jumped into the mainstream in Uganda 2011 has now spread through East Africa and Kenya is a hub.

U-19 Kenya Girls Lacrosse team and officials.

Kenya girls lacrosse team played two games in Uganda 2016 in the High School Girls Lacrosse Championship in March and eventual winners of the East Africa 7's U-19 game beating Uganda hands down in August.

 DBA Sports Director Storm Trentham and the architect of the Kenya Girls Lacrosse program broke the news of Coach Douglas being invited by the English and Wales Lacrosse community to attend the world event that in many ways will be a learning experience much needed for his work in western Kenya. 

For the budding lacrosse communities in Africa, only such opportunities can bring about tangible knowledge sharing for purposes of growth.

Myles Jones-Jim Brown major inspirations of the Africa Lacrosse culture.

Myles Jones-Jim Brown major inspirations of the Africa Lacrosse culture.

Jim Brown inducted in the both US Lacrosse Hall of Fame and the NFL Hall of Fame is a fore shadow of immense sporting talent that is in the people of African origin participating and competing in games like lacrosse a story that has remained unlikely until the recent past. 

JIM BROWN turned 83 years old Feb 2016.

Until 2014 lacrosse the game that is believed to have been played by native Americans over 100 years had it's first world championship competitors from Uganda representing Africa a fusion of which that had limited models and predetermining the outcome of their presence at the event.

Myles Jones former DUKE #15 in MLL Action 2016.

Myles Jones's story and process of development both on and off the field has seen him come through college lacrosse ranks straight into the Major Lacrosse League playing competitively against other professional players like Kyle Harrison,Paul Rabil and legendary Casey Powell.

Ochan Reagan Captain U19 Uganda National Lacrosse team.

Today 100's of such story's like Hall of Fame's Jim Brown and new MLL's lacrosse sensation Myles Jones are possible in the mainland Africa,a good case Ochan Reagan who almost sinked U19 Kenya national lacrosse team single handedly with 4 goals of  the 9-2 final score.

For a sport looking for Olympics consideration,such African talent getting scholarship opportunities to study in America and Europe where facilities and opportunity is more clear could even motivate more talent like Brown and Myles have come this far so far and bring even more possibilities for the game of lacrosse than ever imagined.

Ken Kasule troubling defensemen in the Israel Premier Lacrosse League 2016.

Ken Kasule played for Ashkelon Lacrosse Club and was Man-Of-The-Match in one of the games and his team played in the final game of the play off's along with fellow Ugandan Jaffari Makanda Ibrahim.

More such players like Oriana Patrick seem ready for bigger challengers in bigger leagues to continue the legacy of Jim Brown in it's realest aspect and also increase chances of possibility of growth of 1000's more such dedicated talent in years to come.
