Uganda Lacrosse U-19 Clubs register and play their first game on the highly contested for #KingsCup final day on 04th-09-2014.
For three years most of these kids have played simple feel good lacrosse by holding their brothers sticks as they prepare for the league and official scrimmage training games with national team coaches and at time volunteers,all thanks to Anwar Jeff Warriaz and National lacrosse team midfielder who has continued with their directive roles while project manager Twesiime Liberty was away for more than nine months after a bad motor accident. Now fit to continue with this very promising project both Anwar and Twesiime are ready to establish competitions for these academy level lacrosse players who will be at stakes of winning scholastic materials,schools fees and bursaries on most of their game occasions.
There is no more sportsmanship enthusiasm expressed in the world as that witnessed when these teams were finally organized in small clubs that will hopefully develop to play in top flight league games in four to five years from today.
Uganda Lacrosse being a governing body of a non-traditional game,it has a number of challenges which it has continued to over lap due to super dedicated leaders of this uncompromising demanding game. With the current participation of the men's national team in aworld championship we can only expect he best out this game.

The names below are organized in respective ground breaking clubs that will determine these young players participation in the 2024 Olympics where Uganda is ready to compete for gold.in ten years time all of these young boys will be matured young men who will most likely work hard to emulate Uganda lacrosse most gifted player and MVP David Castro Onen of Panthers Lacrosse Club.

Kings Cup is back in Uganda.

UGANDA LACROSSE UNION presents the 4^th edition of the KINGS CUP annual tournament starting 27^th-09-2014 this time in style. The past three outings of this tourney the players43nm  hugely depended on the experience accumulated from annual summer extensive training sessions with volunteer coaches from mainland USA,Holland and England but this time its about the accumulated skills at the 2014 World Championships in Denver Colorado.

18 men from the local five clubs(Panthers,Warriaz,Oneonta,Kings and Strykers lacrosse) represented the country in a mouth watering international event the first of its time for an African state. Team Captain Patrick Oriana who scored a stoppage time winner that helped Uganda get its first international wins is confident about the level of development of individual player who were exposed to the highest level of class having played friendlies with Mexico Lacrosse, Team USA,FCA Lacrosse,England and Canada the eventual winners of the world title against USA.

Paul Rabil US Lacrosse danger man and a warrior lacrosse ambassador in his words was excited on the level of athleticism of players and their need to even become better. His comments further explained the full exploitation and investment in where these players came from where barrels of untamed talents were still roaming before finding their direction.

The Kings Cup tournament is to serve the Ugandan Lacrosse fans with what they missed in Denver,high intensity skilled games,stealth and thirst to win. Onen Castro David who scored seven against Argentina some un assisted and 14 overall re assured Uganda through his Facebook posts that the next time he gets on the pitch,it will be to score for fun for fans in his words.

Previous winner’s include Panthers Lacrosse 2011 Captain Onen Castro David,Warriaz Lacrosse 2012 Captain Nyakana Douglas and Kings Lacrosse 2013 Tabu James. Strykers Lacrosse and Oneonta Lacrosse will carry their envy in this years tourney since both have before won the Uganda National Lacrosse League.

Twesiime Liberty winner of this same highly rated oldest Lacrosse trophy in Africa in 2011 now PRO Uganda Lacrosse Union is optimistic and ready to see a whole new breed of skill and need to win. Having worked as player-coach all his career has seen the level of development appear more attractive. All action will take place at the MUBS Nakawa main grounds starting this weekend.
