In a recent government meeting, Coach Woody announced that Central New York has secured a grant from US Lacrosse to celebrate Lacrosse Week in November. This initiative aims to establish a city-run, year-round recreational lacrosse program, which could include co-ed formats similar to seven-on-seven soccer and basketball.

The proposed program would require that all coaches be certified by US Lacrosse, ensuring safety and quality in training. Coach Woody emphasized the importance of hiring a coach from the Onondaga Nation, highlighting the cultural significance of lacrosse within Native American communities and the historical context of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Looking ahead, Coach Woody outlined ambitious goals for 2025, including the introduction of a new co-ed lacrosse format known as \"sixes,\" which is set to debut in the 2028 Olympics. He proposed that the city host sixes tournaments, which could generate revenue to support local teams and cultural exchanges with the Haudenosaunee nations.

An architect also presented a proposal to enhance the El Segundo campus playing fields in preparation for the Olympic lacrosse events. The plan includes minor field modifications to accommodate the sixes format and aims to position El Segundo as a key venue for Olympic lacrosse.

The meeting concluded with a unanimous approval of the minutes from previous meetings, signaling continued support for recreational initiatives in the community.
