Free 6–8 week sessions introducing the sport of lacrosse offered to youth. Participants learn and develop the four fundamental skills—scooping, cradling, passing, and catching—through fun, modified games designed to support skill development in an engaging environment.
The Spirit Program follows the Lacrosse FITS guide, which is being delivered across Canada. This program includes six instructional books, each containing up to 10 progressive learning modules.
Spirit is a safe, non-contact, entry-level lacrosse program designed for Indigenous youth ages 5–12. All equipment is provided, and participants who complete the program will receive a free T-shirt.
The goal of this program is to create meaningful opportunities to build relationships between Indigenous communities and local lacrosse associations.

School Visits
During PE or Social Studies classes, we provide a brief history of the Indigenous game and then head down to the gym or out to the fields for the hands-on portion (four skills and modified games).
Goal: Introduce students to the sport of lacrosse and its rich history.
