December 8 and 9, ASA will be among the venders participating at the IMLCA (Intercollegiate Mens Lacrosse Coaches Association) Clinic held at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel, in Maryland. Our ASA table display will be passing out information to coaches interested in having their teams Foster-a-unit. ASA previous assigned units experienced “awesome morale support” from Bucknell Men’s Lacrosse Team and other athletic groups and hopes to encourage more support at this clinic. We thank the IMLCA for allowing ASA to attend this great event and spread our “Foster-a-unit” mission among their many coaches.
