The Most Important Parts of The Game

About 1987 I participated in the first annual FCA Lacrosse Camp at Gettysburg College; we had about 8 players. At the camp I began a relationship with Gettysburg Men’s Lacrosse Coach Hank Janzyck (Coach J) and the late Peter Kohn. With Frank taking the lead and providing the vision, FCA lacrosse has mushroomed over the years into a dynamic ministry that is impacting the lacrosse world with huddles (bible studies), camps, teams in tournaments, retreats for college players, and coaches’ breakfasts at national conventions. All of this began when I met Frank at the Glastonbury Tournament in Connecticut. It was the start of a meaningful relationship with Frank Kelly that has lasted more than thirty years. My two children attend the FCA lacrosse camp at Gettysburg. The camp had more than 400 players in attendance.
