  • Jen Adams – Australian Lacrosse Champion
    JEN ADAMS – AUSTRALIAN LACROSSE CHAMPION Jen Adams started playing lacrosse in 1988, as an 8 year old, after participating in a sof-crosse school competition at Dover Gardens Primary School in Adelaide conducted by the Brighton Lacrosse Club, which at that time did not have a girls’ junior side. So Jen and her sister Trish, and a bunch of friends, got together and Brighton entered a team the following year in Under 12’s. Jen started playing senior women’s lacrosse at Brighton in 1991 at age 11, represented S.A. in the U16 S.A. Associates team in 1991 and then South Australia U16 & U21 teams from 1993, and was selected in the South Australian senior team from 1996 – 1997. In the lead up to the 1995 U19 World Championships in Haverford, Pennsylvania the Australian team played a few scrimmages against club teams in Maryland, where Gary Gait and Cindy Timchal (Coaches at University of Maryland) (UMD) had the chance to see her play. Sarah Forbes and Sascha Newmarch were both playing for Maryland at the time so the coaches already had a good idea of who were the up and coming champions in Australian women’s lacrosse. After the World Championships Gary Gait reached out expressing an interest in Jen’s playing career and continued to follow her career. In 1997, Brett Cope took a Brighton Lacrosse Club women’s team to the USA for a series of matches and it was on this tour that Jen, then aged 17, was able to meet up again with Gary Gait and Cindy Timchal for an interview, from where she was recruited on a lacrosse scholarship to UMD.

  • STATE of PLAY: BALTIMORE STUDY FOCUS AREA: EAST BALTIMORE Specifically, a Roughly Two-Square-Mile Area of East Baltimore
    ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 1 SCOREBOARD 2 THE 8 PLAYS 7 CALL FOR LEADERSHIP 24 GAME CHANGER 26 The Children & Youth Fund IDEAS 28 APPENDICES 30 ENDNOTES 34 The Aspen Institute thanks Under Armour for its support of this report and Project Play: Baltimore THE VISION A Baltimore in which all children have the opportunity to be active through sports WELCOME Baltimore has a rich history of developing its children and communities through sports, from the early days of Babe Ruth, to the proliferation of recreation centers in the 1960s and ’70s, to the rise of the most decorated Olympian in history, Michael Phelps. Sports are baked into the DNA of this unique city. The Aspen Institute aims to help Baltimore tell its best sports story yet. Project Play: Baltimore, our first model community effort, will identify and facilitate opportunities for leaders to grow the quality and quantity of youth sport opportunities. Our specific focus is on a two-square-mile area of East Baltimore (see map on page 4), where Under Armour helped renovate a recreation center in 2016 and asked us to assist stakeholders throughout the area – so lessons can be learned and shared with other communities around the city and the country. This report offers an assessment of the current state of play for kids and sports in the area. Our work is anchored in the notion that all stakeholders will benefit if all youth are provided access to a quality sport experience. We know this from the body of research that has emerged over the past decade establishing the myriad benefits of physical activity.
