FIRST ANNUAL YOUTH LACROSSE FESTIVAL JULY 27-29 IN AKHTALA
Armenia Lacrosse is pleased to announce the FIRST ANNUAL YOUTH LACROSSE FESTIVAL IN AKHTALA JULY 27-29. The SIXES co-ed soft lacrosse games will have modified soft lacrosse rules with a soft ball. Players will be 14 years old and under with a maximum of 14 players including six girls.

"Akhtala is a unique place, with its history, spiritual heritage, and beauty. Organizing a tournament here not only encourages active participation from the youth but also gives them an opportunity to connect with their identity and cultural roots."
