Thurston Lacrosse Club Offers Free Youth Lacrosse Clinic

Olympia, WA—In an effort to introduce the growing sport of lacrosse to the Thurston County community, the Thurston Lacrosse Club is offering a FREE clinic to youth, grades 3-12, on Wednesday, December 18 from 6:30pm-8:00pm at Olympia High School.  All necessary gear will be furnished by the club, as well expert instruction from club coaches who have experience playing and coaching at the youth, high school, and the collegiate level.

Lacrosse is a fast-paced, exhilarating sport that blends the strategy of basketball, the endurance of soccer, and the physicality of hockey. Known as the fastest game on two feet, it offers players the chance to develop speed, agility, teamwork, and confidence. With its rich history as one of North America’s oldest sports and its growing popularity worldwide, lacrosse is a dynamic and thrilling game that challenges both the mind and body. Whether you’re new to the sport or looking to sharpen your skills, this clinic is the perfect opportunity to experience the excitement and energy of lacrosse firsthand.

“Lacrosse is super fun!” says 3^rd grader Eero. “I get to run around with my friends, wear cool gear, and my parents don’t get mad when I hit another kid with a stick!”

Registration for the upcoming spring season is now open at www.ThurstonLacrosse.org. Teams from grade levels 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, and 9-12 will compete with other clubs in the South Sound March-May 2025.
