This program will take place on Friday nights at the covered box located at John Barsby School in Nanaimo.

This program is for athletes that have social and cognitive delays. We are excited to be the first lacrosse association on the island to offer this type of program.

All participants will need to wear a helmet, gloves, shoulder pads, lacrosse stick and a pair of good running shoes.
