There is a continuous growth in the numbers of people (youth majorly) interested in participating, learning and competing in lacrosse game related activities in Africa.

1st Afri Lax clinic 18/05/2016 Kampala-Uganda.

This however has found a gap in different lacrosse playing African communities due to the limitation in availability of cross fit experienced lacrosse player-coaches who can be able to facilitate in orientation programs in areas of game psychology and maintain high safety game precautions at the same time.

45 playing youth (boys and girls) ages 15-25 attended in three teams and individuals.

Maceik Nowak from Poland however was quick to close the gap by accepting to share the most needed knowledge in an event that was massive and very successful and also asked that the event should be held annually for continuous growth.

However lacrosse programs in Africa ie Uganda,Kenya,South Africa and Malawi still have a serious logistical supplies shortages which has cut back on the speed at which game participation is growing.

This however has not entirely discouraged the super dedicated generation of young players who are continuously waiting on game lovers to donate both new and used equipment to programs they belong to.

To enable the growth of the game of lacrosse you can donate financially and also used and new equipment to our agents next to you. email africalacrosse@gmail.com also on facebook and twitter facebook.com/africalacrosse.

Introduction.

Lacrosse is not only the fastest game but also the fastest growing game across the globe and AFRICA is inclusive:

• Africa Lacrosse is the umbrella platform that was ideologically established August 2014 to provide a common ground for administration and technical support for all African Lacrosse playing nations interested in growing the game.
• This campaign is purposed to kick start the Malawi Lacrosse project in the Southern parts of the country,where for over a year an interest letter was forwarded to us inviting us to grow the game there. 
• The lacrosse programs will provide mostly the school going school children a chance to express thy inner abilities and also provide them a chance to speak a global language through lacrosse which is played across the globe.
• Contributions in monetary terms is the major aim to be able to facilitate transport costs for the first group of volunteer coaches from Uganda to Malawi and back.

Campaign Goals.

This is what we look forward at achieving:

• Cash facilitation for kick starting lacrosse program. 2000 USD
• Facilitate 2 (male and female) volunteer coaches.500 USD
• Cover transport and visa fees (to and from) 1500 USD
• Provide accomodation/meals facilitation for two weeks.1000 USD

The Impact.

For the complete two weeks stay in Malawi,the Africa Lacrosse facilitated coaches will do the following:

• Orientation training programs for coaches (8-12),players and game officials. This program will cover all the major areas by explaining all guidelines.
• Lacrosse safety precautions and body conditioning to avoid beginner injuries..
• Make available all lacrosse literature for sustainable continuation of training programs after the two weeks clinics.
• The 1st Lacrosse Clinic will there after be help to kick start a national aspiration to associate with the Federation of International Lacrosse.

Challenges

The increased willingness of youngsters to learn and competitively participate in lacrosse games has led to bottlenecks from logistical supplies mostly equipment,sticks and balls.

The demands from different school administrators to enroll lacrosse programs in their school surpasses the availability of necessary equipment.

You can also offer equipment support by collecting used and new equipment towards Africa Lacrosse agents in your location.

Lacrosse in Africa has so many different stories that are coming to reality at the same time. 
From giving a girl child a reason to stay in school,and also a platform to showcase co-curricular God given abilities that translate into confidence in career path and on other fronts of life.

From one player to the other having been a given a chance to train in a game of lacrosse has come along with so many on and off field responsibilities. Responsibilities to provide medical kits,protective gear and proper mental preparation that is basic to learn different skills.

Kenya Girls Lacrosse Clinics Report 23rd/24th-Jan-2016.

Kenya Girls Lacrosse Clinic Report 23rd/24th-Jan-2016.

The Kenya Lax calendar opened with a training clinic that ran from Saturday 23^rd January to Sunday 24^th January, 2016 at Booker Academy Secondary School in Mumias Kenya.

It attracted over 100 girls from five schools from Mumias Sub County on day One. 

      Shitoto Girls Secondary School

      Bishop Silumeti

      Iyabo Secondary School

      St. Elias

      Booker Academy Secondary School (for the first time) 

The clinic was graced by Coaches from Uganda including Nyakana  Nakato Dorothy, Harriet Chotabai, Donald Atuhire and Twesiime Liberty as well as Robert a visiting volunteer coach from Germany. Joyce Muthoni from Nairobi also joined the coaching team.

COACHING BASICS FOCUSED MAJORLY ON;

  Basic stick work and being tight on technique for passing and receiving the ball.

  Ground balls

  Rules

  Defense skills

  Dodges

  Game mentality and psyche

Lots of positives were noted as the girls that participated were improving exponentially skill wise throughout the two days,ground balls and mental fitness were some of the areas that registered lots of positives.

The fast moving lacrosse ball could be intimidating to anyone but with proper mental preparedness this is never the case. 

Africa and the global lacrosse community can only get more excited by visiting or getting directly involved in these glorious lax projects not only in Kenya but across the continent.

 There are still major challenges of lack of enough equipment like sticks and balls which makes it difficult to run some extensive drills. Also shortage of training materials such as bibs and cons that if available go a long way in helping to easy training drills and easing communication to the girls would be long overcome to this day,thank you.

The biggest appreciation goes to various Kenya lacrosse authorities and development partners led by Sporting Chance International director Storm Trentham and Kenyan country director Mr Osire Fredrick. The schools lacrosse association and chairman Opunde Peter and all the leaders and resident ports tutors all of resource the development of the programs thus far.

Germany Hobert Raus completes two weeks lacrosse dev't tour in Uganda and Kenya.

Lacrosse is without boarders since it is played on every continent on earth at a prospective level and this is the experience that Hobert called "Robert" on his stay in Africa has experienced to fullest with first class hospitality o his visits to Uganda and Kenya where he has been so busy passing on the games knowledge as the ambassador of the #GrowTheGame Global lacrosse pledge.

Hobert participated in the Uganda Lacrosse Kelly Cup 2016 tournament on 16th-Jan-2016 where he was instrumental in exhibiting the Germany way of lacrosse which was appealing to young less experienced players in Uganda.

Kenya will be witnessing the biggest Girls lacrosse expo due 1st-Nov-2015 this Sunday after a coaches clinic and officials clinic on Saturday 31st-Oct-2015 with support from Coach Storm Trentham,DBA S ports and Sporting Chance International as reported earlier by Fred O, Osire based in Mumias western Kenya at the Booker Academy.

With avast international lacrosse experience former U-19 Wales Coach Storm has more than hilarious plans for female athletes in Kenya and this will definitely be a benchmark to most other African lacrosse communities to step up development strategies to be able to keep up the pace.

Countries Nigeria,South Africa,Malawi and Zambia are among those with growing lacrosse that with a good example from Kenya and Uganda who are already with considerable success,they will be getting a great inspiration for collective growth.

Coach Storm Trentham already in Kenya.

A delegation from Uganda will be including Coach player Nakato Dorothy and Chotabai Harriet who will join Ken Kasule who has been in Kenya over two months already. Coach Dorothy will be focusing on familiarizing the girls with swifter moves that they might be holding back onto.

Africa Lacrosse Development news editor and coordinator Mr Twesiime Liberty will also attend to show solidarity and support to the bold step taken by development partners in Kenya to set clear targets.
