The Premier Lacrosse League’s (PLL) Street Lacrosse Pro Tour, presented by Cash App | Visa, comes to Los Angeles on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 3:30-6 p.m. PT at the Venice Beach Basketball Courts. The league's global grassroots initiative makes its first appearance in Los Angeles, bringing the most accessible form of lacrosse to Southern California ahead of the sports’ return to the Olympic Games at LA28.

Street Lacrosse, launched in 2023 alongside Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman's Boardroom, is designed to be the easiest way to play the game – a pick-up style format that mirrors street basketball or hockey. With soft balls, no body checking and simplified rules, all a player needs is a stick, a ball and a goal.

Each Pro Tour stop showcases PLL and Women's Lacrosse League (WLL) pros, rising stars and special guests competing in Street Lacrosse's fast-paced, 5-on-5 format, alongside music performances, creator appearances and limited merchandise capsules.

The event will be open to the public – attendees can pick up a stick and participate in Street Lacrosse alongside a number of PLL and WLL pros that may take the field with Team USA at the LA28 Olympic Games

Between Pro Tour stops, Street Lacrosse continues expanding its year-round, community-based youth programming through PLL Play and PLL Assists, giving parks and recreation departments, schools, youth organizations, clubs, coaches, nonprofits and community leaders the tools to run their own Street Lacrosse leagues and events.

“The Olympics are coming to LA in 2028 and lacrosse is getting here first,” said Paul Rabil, Co-Founder and President of the PLL. “We’re bringing the best players on the planet to the most iconic courts in America and handing kids a stick. No gear, tryouts, or gatekeepers. Just ball. We can’t wait to be playing on Venice Beach.”

"Cash App has been proud to stand behind Street Lacrosse since day one, because access to sport shouldn't come with a price tag," said Zack Ashley, Global Head of Brand Partnerships at Cash App. "Investing further into Street Lacrosse and making this a year-round program lets us connect directly with the communities we care about most — from the blacktop to the block."

The Santa Monica City Council Tuesday adopted a resolution proclaiming a local emergency for the 2026-2027 El Niño winter season, enabling the city to quickly procure and deploy equipment, supplies, services and other resources as needed to address potential storm-related impacts.

Potential impacts could include:

Repeated heavy rainfall and saturated ground
Rapid urban flooding where drainage capacity is exceeded
Coastal wave action, beach erosion, and high surf
Falling trees, downed power lines, traffic disruptions, and power outages
Slope instability and debris movement, especially near steep terrain and wildfire burn-affected areas
Bluff erosion, with mud and debris falling on to Pacific Coast Highway

The local emergency proclamation is one of several measures the city is taking to protect residents and infrastructure and prepare for potential storm impacts, building on its usual winter storm preparedness measures.

“While we can’t know exactly what this winter will bring, we can take steps now to prepare for the potential impacts of El Niño and help keep our community safe,” Mayor Caroline Torosis said. “I’m proud of our city staff for taking a proactive approach to preparedness and working to minimize potential impacts on our residents and businesses. Proclaiming a local emergency gives the city greater flexibility to take early action, strengthen our readiness and help protect our community.”

Preparations underway include:

Constructing sand berms to reduce sand erosion on the beach and along storm drain outflows
Inspecting and repairing roofs, gutters, and drains at city facilities to help prevent leaks and flooding
Cleaning more than 600 catch basins to improve stormwater drainage
Purchasing additional sandbags for distribution at fire stations
Launching the city’s Storm Event website, which provides information on how the community can prepare for and respond to storms, available in five languages
Temporarily relaxing shelter access criteria for people experiencing homelessness during storm events, allowing first responders and outreach teams to refer people to shelter

The Santa Monica Fire Department will also host “Sandbag Saturdays” on Nov. 7, 14, and 21 from 9 a.m. to noon at Clover Park. Fire Department personnel will fill sandbags for residents and business owners. Outside of these events, Santa Monica residents can fill their own sandbags by picking up free empty sandbags at any Santa Monica fire station and filling them with sand from the sand bin located in the Clover Park parking lot.

The city of Santa Monica will join the U.S. Army for a Veterans Day ceremony on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. in Beach Parking Lot 4, between Santa Monica Beach and Crescent Bay Park.

Now in its seventh year, the event will feature live performances, a Chinook helicopter flyover, remarks from senior military leaders and local elected officials and more. The ceremony portion of the event will take place from 11 a.m. to noon, followed by music and entertainment from noon to 1 p.m.

Begun as a private gathering at the Santa Monica Veterans Memorial in 2020, the annual Veterans Day event has grown into a major community celebration bringing together veterans, service members, military families, distinguished leaders, and neighbors to honor veterans and their service to our county.
