Jon Tagoona had never played lacrosse outside of a few times in gym class.
βItβs a pretty fun sport though,β he remarked as the three-day workshops, which he was instructing, were wrapping up in Rankin Inlet Thursday, Aug. 31.
βI wish we had it as a kid here, but itβs good that these kids get it now.β
The Grizzly lacrosse camp taught skills and drills and included game sessions for different age groups, from U7 to U18.
βItβs about introducing a new sport thatβs not really common here and getting kids involved in more sports,β said Tagoona.
He said the youth enjoyed the camp.
βThey were telling me how fun it is. The kids come up and say, βOh this is so much fun. Iβve never really played this before.β Itβs nice to introduce them to something new.β
The camp has been running annually for several years.
