JINJA LACROSSE COMMUNITY THE SILVER LINE OF GRASSROOTS DEV'T PROGRAMS IN UGANDA

BENGAA ON THE NILE x SATURDAY LACROSSE BLITZ FOR THE LOVE OF LACROSSE.

So many different lacrosse tournaments are being organised outside Kampala the capital of UGANDA to bring closer the game experience to the so many junior players that have opted to learn the game in regional programs.

Highlighting the most successful for 2 years consecutively is the Jinja Lacrosse program coordinated by Andrew Mamawi a junior Coach and Active player.
Game Day tradition is recording attendance with a remembrance team photo.
Mark (below) is 6 years old but his passion for lacrosse equals that of a Rockie on a varsity team.

Being a native of Jinja town of Eastern Uganda, we can only say the future is bright.
Mark is one of over 50 5-14 year old children who have an opportunity to interface with lacrosse daily because of systematic intention of older players and the international lacrosse community that donates the equipment.
