Nadzitsaga (the name of the traditional Northern Paiute "ball and stick" game)
Lacrosse Club
is a partnership between the Burns Paiute Tribe to establish the game of
lacrosse
(boy's and girl's) in rural eastern Oregon.
Nadzitsaga Lacrosse
will use the game of lacrosse to promote
four general concepts:
• To teach life skills by addressing topics such as leadership, responsibility,
accountability, community involvement, serving others, dealing with mistakes,
dealing with success, commitment, goal setting, integrity and sportsmanship;
• To increase physical activity and fitness with the intent of establishing a
lifetime of fitness attitude;
• To teach skills of lacrosse sufficiently well to compete against other Pacific
Northwest lacrosse programs;
• To provide an opportunity for Harney County lacrosse players to attend some of
the highest quality undergraduate institutions in the country and continue
playing lacrosse at the collegiate level. The Head Coach will actively promote Harney County youth to lacrosse coaches and
recruiters nationwide.
