Native Nation Lacrosse Clinics The Native culture has long embraced Lacrosse as a cornerstone to mental, physical, and spiritual well being. Lacrosse is more than just a game to the Iroquois, it is a spiritual tradition. To the Iroquois, Lacrosse is a medicine game to be played upon request of any individual, clan, nation or the Confederacy itself. It is played for the Creator’s enjoyment and as a way to heal individuals and restore harmony. This is the reason they say it is a gift from the Creator. The Native Nation Clinic is one way the Iroquois are keeping the tradition of Lacrosse alive and strong. Coaches Bomberry, Schindler, and Bucktooth serve as ambassadors as they impart the spiritual aspects of the Iroquois game to all Native Nation participants. They teach the game through discipline and special instruction using drills and exercises used for generations. A multi-dimensional experience for players ages 6-16, learning Lacrosse the Native Way requires cooperation, fair play, stamina, pride and good health. Like those who played the game for many generations past, these are the characteristics that sustain those who wish to achieve a particular level of success in the game of Lacrosse. The Native Nation instruction transcends other lacrosse camp instruction by imparting the game’s rich history and its roots in the Iroquois heritage. Learn more about the [Originators of the Game].
