4th Annual Urban Youth Lacrosse Jamboree

Every spring, the Annual Urban Youth Lacrosse Jamboree brings together young lacrosse players from West Philadelphia and other urban communities to the University of Pennsylvania for a weekend of competition, team-building, enrichment, and fun. Players enhance their lacrosse skills while learning sportsmanship and teamwork. The university setting helps players envision themselves as college students and lets them work directly with collegiate coaches and athletes.
