CHEERS.

Determination over barriers.

I have never been so hopeful about Africa,not because i have all the solutions/answers,or that i know the magnitude of our challenges. But i am ready to sow hope and i can see us breaking barriers moving forward.-Twesiime Liberty President and CEO Africa Lacrosse. ‪#‎MtotoWaFrika‬‪#‎TukkoPaMoja‬.

Lacrosse Logistics,abig hit in Africa.

Coach Liberty and the substitutes.

On an early saturday afternoon,Jeff Anwar Uganda Lacrosse National team player and juniors coach at the Kampala Kids Lacrosse Academy sets out for normal routine,to continue teaching basics of the game and transtions to the highly curios kids from Nakawa Kampala city suburb where alacrosse compound has steadily established over five years now.

The bleed of the young players continously bettering their stick handling skills and dodges without dropping the ball puts asmile on every on looker whom most have never handled alacrosse stick. People yelling ''Mufuune,Mufuune'' literally meaning to give your opponent ahard check so he can loose the ball. This is all done in good spirit and the love for the game continues to grow every other day due to the fan extracted.

'Coach,Coach,Coach me too i want to play',this is common every weekend says Twesiime Liberty a,Junior Lacrosse Project Manager in Uganda over looking progress of two teams Silver-Barks Lacrosse Team and Nile-Crocs Lacrosse Team. Their is always a not acculate answer to the query/need for more youngsters to join and learn the game of lacrosse.

The constant strains in logistics availability and management hinders the growth in numbers,the academy has 50 registered players twelve of which are girls but all these share less than 20 sticks at every training. Substituting one George avery good player so his friend can have time with the stick comes out horrible and you can tell by facial expressions. Before you know the juniors who leave home towards alacrosse training,end up in dividing time to play some football which is always readily available compared to lacrosse equipment.

For all of us who wish to grow the game of lacrosse in Africa,should unite and have aconstant flow of lacrosse logistics flowing into Africa lacrosse countries of Kenya,Uganda,Rwanda,Zambia,Ghana and South Africa.

Trainings in Lacrosse game management at all levels,reffing and first aid/injury rate control is another relevant area of concern.
