Konawaena Wildcat Lacrosse



I am Dan Curran, a physical education teacher at Konawaena HighSchool on the Big Island of Hawai’i.  I was born and raised in central New York and I moved to Big Island about 8 years ago to pursue my teaching career.  I have a love and passion for the game of lacrosse and a commitment to giving kids the opportunity to play this sport, who would otherwise not have the option.  I have been introducing lacrosse in my PE classes for many years and I immediately saw interest from the students. 

 



Konawaena High School lacrosse is a grassroots club program that has been able to pursue the goal of giving kids in Hawai’i the opportunity to play lacrosse.  This is the first public school lacrosse team on the Big Island.  The Wildcats are a diverse team made up of students from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, boys and girls with diverse interests beyond the lacrosse field.  We are a program that is dedicated to teaching the fundamentals and foundations of lacrosse, but more importantly focusing on the emphasis of building better character and athletes who respect the game and its culture. 

 

With your contributions, we were able to purchase brand new uniforms, sticks, lacrosse balls and other equipment.

 


Our team is mostly made up of students who do not typically participate in team sports at the high school.  This club has brought together different groups of students who would not necessarily associate with one another.  The players have formed bonds and friendships between students of different racial and cultural backgrounds.  Having team helmets and uniforms will help to unify us as a team.  Your donations will not only provide our kids with proper equipment, but more importantly give them the opportunity of a lifetime!
