The Houston Chapter of US Lacrosse hosted its first annual clinic for physical education teachers in March. The clinic was open to all Houston area teachers interested in adding lacrosse to their curriculum for physical education classes. The clinic covered the history of lacrosse, the growth of the game, the purpose of the Houston Chapter as well as the basic rules, equipment and terminology of the women's and men's game. The teachers were then led to the field for hands-on learning of basic skills. Each teacher in attendance was given a copy of the US Lacrosse Physical Education Curriculum and a lacrosse stick so that they can continue to practice their skills. The teachers were eager to learn and are excited and ready to bring lacrosse to a wider base of youth.

Among those, pictured at right, making the check presentation were Mr. and Mrs. Mark Kelly, representing the Hampton Roads Chapter, and Ms. Maryellen Baldwin of the Hampton Roads Council of the Navy League.
