The head coach of the Israel Men’s National Lacrosse Team is from New City.
Jeffrey Schwartz will lead the 23-man team to the European Lacrosse Federation’s Championships in Budapest, Hungary, from July 27 to August 7.
Lacrosse is not a well-known team sport in Israel, where soccer and basketball reign supreme. But interest is picking up because of the efforts of the New York-based Israel Lacrosse Association, the Amazing Israel Lacrosse Birthright program, and Masa Israel Journey’s new Israel Lacrosse Internship.
