Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The start of the NLL season may be in jeopardy due to ongoing labor talks between the NLL and the Professional Lacrosse Players Association, according to a letter from league commissioner Nick Sakiewicz to PLPA president Peter Schmitz.

NLL star Zach Currier tweeted out the letter on Tuesday.

Sakiewicz gave the PLPA a Wednesday deadline to agree to the league’s last offer. The PLPA countered with a one-year proposal to help both sides negotiate a long-term deal, which the NLL reportedly rejected.

2. Kara Mupo, the Stanford assistant and WPLL champion with the New England Command, likes to mix it up when training for the upcoming season.

Mupo, who led the league in scoring last summer, shares her tips to kickboxing.

3. US Lacrosse TryLax clinics are popping up all over the country. Check out photos from the latest TryLax clinic in San Diego over the weekend.

4. US Lacrosse and the Philadelphia Wings have partnered to offer LaxCon attendees a deal on tickets for the Wings’ game against the Georgia Swarm on Jan. 12.
