Welcome to the Weekly Fast Break, where we update you on news and notes from the lacrosse world from the prior week. From major stories to entertaining social media posts and beyond, we’ve got you covered to catch you up on the latest news and opinion on and off the lacrosse field.

This past week saw some major announcements in the lacrosse community, so let’s jump right in!

FIL Given Provisional Recognition by IOC

The International Olympic Committee gave the Federation of International Lacrosse provisional status on Friday, in a move that puts lacrosse on the path to becoming an Olympic sport.

According to the IOC, “These three International Federations will now be able to receive funding from the IOC and can apply for development programs, while full recognition has to be granted by the IOC Session.”

However, rules for the sport at the international level may undergo some major changes.

Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Kerri Walsh Jennings voiced her support for lacrosse in the Olympics, in addition to her support for the Premier Lacrosse League launching next summer:

YEAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! This amazing Olympic news + your launch of the @PremierLacrosse means 🚀 I pray #PLL is the meat & potatoes while the Games = icing on the cake. Be relevant EVERY year!!!! https://t.co/WFwvPzFilL
