PNW Lacrosse is the outreach arm of the Edmonds Lacrosse Club, which has fielded the Edmonds Chiefs high school lacrosse team for three years in the Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association. PNW Lacrosse offers low-cost or free skills camps and clinics in the Edmonds School District. By targeting novice and intermediate players, these events are designed to raise the skills of the average player by increasing confidence, skill, and leadership. Past camps have attracted players from all parts of Washington state.

Drew Snider and Chris O’Dougherty of the Denver Outlaws will be the featured guest instructors this year. Both men are professional lacrosse players with the National Lacrosse League and started the Sticks 2 Schools organization, which provides lacrosse equipment and instruction to local schools in Washington. The Edmonds Boys & Girls Club and the Edmonds Lacrosse Club have partnered to use equipment from one of these grants to teach lacrosse in physical education classes in Edmonds-area elementary schools.
