CAMP 99: LACROSSE AND ALL SPORTS CAMP
“For the summer of 2025 kids between the ages of 8 - 14 can participate in a full day camp led by Desert Dogs Captain, Connor Kirst and players. Kids will arrive in the morning and learn the basics of lacrosse and learn other sports in the afternoon. Additional sports include soccer, wiffle ball, handball, and kickball.” (https://www.lasvegasdesertdogs.com/community/)
“WE’RE STILL HERE | The Three Forms of Indigenous Stick-And-Ball Games”
“In honor of the PLL’s indigenous Heritage Weekend, we hosted an open and educational conversation with Boston Cannons Goalie Colin Kirst and Indigenous Community leaders about the various forms of stick-and-ball games that are actively played today. Each version of the game is more than sport-it is cultural practice, ceremony, and generational knowledge-sharing.” (Premier Lacrosse League - YouTube)
“This weekend isn’t only about honoring tradition-it’s about visibility, leadership, and future-building. Through PLL’s national platforms, we aim to elevate Indigenous leaders and amplify the messages that matter most to their communities.” (Premier Lacrosse League - YouTube)
