Program Description
The Boys Lacrosse Camp is designed for boys ages 8 - 13, grades 3-8, who are looking to learn the game of lacrosse in a competitive and fun atmosphere. Wheather they are in our beginner section, learning to catch and throw and other basics of the game, or in our advanced beginner and above section, learning the finer points of the game. During the week, we do our best to give the players a cahnce to make the transition to the games in the afternoon whee full equipment is required.
Our low camper-to-counselor ratio allows each camper to interact with the staff daily-to ask questrions about the individual skills, how to develop a more accuarate shot, and how to improve game play.
Equipment - Beginner
Campers must bring their own mouth guard, cleats, and sneakers for potential indoor and/or turf play. A stick will be provided if needed.
Equipment - Advanced
Each camper is required to bring his own stick, gloves, helmet, mouth guard, shoulder pads, arm pads, and cleats to camp.
| Program Objectives - To teach players the game of lacrosse.
