DENVER - The Denver Outlaws Lacrosse Team has announced a model youth partnership with the Denver Bandits Lacrosse Club. Aiming to help grow the sport of lacrosse for boys and girls at the youth level, Outlaws players and coaches will assist in developing the sport with the Denver Bandits, who are currently the largest youth lacrosse organization in the Denver metropolitan area.Part of the Outlaws' public service and community outreach program, 'Outlaws Nation,' the partnership between the two organizations will include strategic planning and implementation of lacrosse related activities and services and programs for Bandits coaches, youth players and parents, including group coaches clinics, individual team clinics, player camps, mentoring and more.
'Outlaws Nation' has been cultivating new lacrosse and community partnerships in an effort to introduce the game of lacrosse to those who may not have been given the opportunity to pick it up, growing existing lacrosse programs and showcasing the attributes of professional players who are making a difference in the lives of younger athletes.
'The Outlaws are excited to establish what will hopefully be the first of many significant youth team partnerships,' head coach and GM Brian Reese said, 'where professional Outlaws players can not only help grow, but also raise the level of lacrosse that's being played in Colorado.'
