The National Youth Sports Program, administered by the NCAA and funded by a federal grant, introduces lacrosse to low-income children in Philadelphia. The camp, held at Temple University, offers instruction in 13 activities, and almost all of the children are seeing the inside of a college campus for the first time. (MLW)
