The District of Columbia State Athletic Association, continuing to expand opportunities for student-athletes, will conduct state championships in golf and boys and girls lacrosse beginning this spring sports season. 

The DCSAA Golf State Championship will be held on May 12 at Langston Golf Course in Northeast Washington. 

The DCSAA Boys Lacrosse State Championship and DCSAA Girls Lacrosse State Championship will be held in May as well. 

The DCSAA debuted three new winter championship events last month, with the introduction of Boys Swimming, Girls Swimming and Wrestling state championships. 

“It was great to hold the new DCSAA winter championships and by continuing to add new state championship events, DCSAA is creating additional opportunities for our student-athletes to compete,” DCSAA Executive Director Kenny Owens said. “The COVID-19 pandemic has again demonstrated the importance of interscholastic athletics in the lives of our youths and the DCSAA is thrilled to do all that it can to provide more opportunities for our student-athletes to test themselves. We look forward to the addition of the lacrosse and golf championships this spring.” 

In addition, the DCSAA will hold a free golf clinic featuring members of the Howard University men’s and women’s golf teams on Saturday, April 2 at Langston Golf Course. 

The clinic is open to all middle and high school boys and girls, both those who play golf and those who are new to the sport. Equipment will be available for those who need and golfers will have the opportunity to work on both the driving range and in the short game practice area. 

“In addition to holding the first-ever DCSAA State Golf Championship this spring, DCSAA wants to give as many youngsters as possible the opportunity to both try the sport of golf and improve their games,” DCSAA Executive Director Kenny Owens said. “What an amazing gesture by the Howard University golf teams to volunteer their time to work with D.C.’s youngsters. Thanks also to our partners at First Tee – Greater Washington, DC and National Links Trust for their interest in making this event possible.”
