OUR MISSION
We aim to grow this indigenous tradition we call the "medicine game" for ourselves and future generations to enjoy. We’re excited to introduce Kooks U16 & U18 summer club teams. The desire for more opportunities to play the game is clear. Both coaches and players have come together to strengthen our community.
