As depicted in The Spirit in the Stick by Neil Duffy, Native Americans were known to carve symbols into their lacrosse sticks. Each carving, of course, carries deep personal significance to each player.

The goal of this project is simple: As we approach the momentous inclusion of lacrosse in the Olympic Games, please help the entire lacrosse community come together in the Spirit of the Game by submitting the carving they might inscribe on the stick! Everyone can participate regardless of "artistic ability" — many carvings are simple letters, stick figures or mantras!

Let's get all players, coaches, administrators, referees, supporters, and fans of all levels, ages and genders to come together!

Please participate and share with your friends and encourage them to join the community of great people connected to the game. 🥍
