We are here at Johnson Junior High School in the gym, and we are working with Desert dogs, the professional lacrosse team here in Las Vegas, and we're super excited to have them on campus here, working with our kids with a sport that many of them don't even know what it is so nervous.

And I'm not really that good at sports.

But once I started getting going, like, Oh, I can do this.

This is easy.

I can do this.

My name is Eric Turner.

I play lacrosse for the Las Vegas Desert Dogs and I'm in transition Play Lacrosse is pretty new to Las Vegas, and the opportunity to introduce it to a bunch of students that may not have access to the game and have maybe never seen the game is just a great way for us to share this work.

It was really fun specially learning the mechanics and how to carry a stick and balance the ball in it correctly.

So like a little guy to learn in the sport.

It was absolutely amazing.

I did I'd be able to play with professionals, let alone a team that plays for Las Vegas, Nevada, whatever.

We've done a really good job of getting into the community and in situations like this and doing various camps and clinics.

We took a number of initiatives, you know, giving tennis to all youth players, the Desert Dogs logo on them, donating physical goals to Fields, Parks and Rec to our lacrosse clubs throughout Las Vegas, and then our Styx donation program, you know, donating 500 sticks to our Clark County public schools, ten different elementary and middle schools to begin a pilot program to bring lacrosse to the pinnacle regularly out here in Clark County.

I'm hoping they take away that physical activity, things like that, to improve a healthy lifestyle can be done and accomplished through other things other than running or healthy eating.

Think stuff like that.

One, two, three years that goes.
