Lacrosse is a sport that our scholars may typically not encounter, however, MKE LAX is a program that is changing that at MAS. In partnership with the Marquette University Lacrosse team, the MKE LAX program mentors our MAS Junior Academy Scholars and introduces them to the sport.
This fall, MU lacrosse players came to MAS during the school day three days a week. Starting this spring, the new Program Coordinator, Brendan Kearny, will start a coed 8th grade lacrosse team that will meet for practice once a week and attend a Marquette University Lacrosse game.
Kearny tells us, “we want to make sure that every one of our players has a strong connection with someone on the Marquette Lacrosse staff, or one of the Marquette athletes.” Kearny is working with MAS staff to set academic and attendance goals for each scholar. Thank you, Brendan and MKE LAX!
