HARLEM LACROSSE INSPIRES CHILDREN TO DREAM ABOUT TOMORROW WHILE WORKING HARD ON THE FIELD AND IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. 0 0 3888277 53260 AS THE GLOBAL COVID-19 PANDEMIC CREATED CONSTANTLY CHANGING CONDITIONS IN THEIR SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES, HARLEM LACROSSE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES AND HELP THEM TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. WE OPERATED HYBRID PROGRAMMING THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, CONTINUING TO SUPPORT STUDENTS BOTH IN-PERSON AND WITH ONLINE AND ASYNCHRONOUS CLASSES. WE WERE EXCITED TO GET BACK ON THE FIELD FOR MORE AND MORE PRACTICE AND PLAYING OPPORTUNITIES AS SCHOOL AND LOCAL ORDINANCES AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ALLOWED. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS:AS SCHOOLS TOGGLED BETWEEN IN-PERSON, HYBRID, AND VIRTUAL SCHOOL, HARLEM LACROSSE SUPPORTED STUDENTS TO ADAPT AND REMAIN ENGAGED. BOTH STUDENT-ATHLETES' FAMILIES (92%) AND OUR SCHOOL PARTNERS (95%) AGREED THAT BEING PART OF HL IMPROVED ACADEMIC MOTIVATION FOR THEIR STUDENTS.

ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS:ACCESS TO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY HAS ONLY GROWN IN IMPORTANCE DURING THE PANDEMIC, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUTH, BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY HAS DIMINISHED, WITH PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CLOSING, MERGING, AND DOWNSIZING. CONVERSELY, HL ADDED PROGRAMS DURING THE 2020-21 SCHOOL YEAR, AND CONTINUES TO INCREASE ATHLETIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUTH. AS A RESULT, 82% OF STUDENTS AND 97% OF FAMILIES FELT THAT THEIR STUDENT IMPROVED AS AN ATHLETE DUE TO PARTICIPATING IN HL'S PROGRAMMING LAST YEAR. AMONG OUR POSTSECONDARY ADMITS FROM THE CLASS OF 2021, 69% PLAN TO PLAY SPORTS IN COLLEGE. HARLEM LACROSSE ALUMNI ARE STANDOUT PLAYERS ON COLLEGE TEAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
