Description:
Lacrosse is one of the oldest team sports in America, started on the East Coast
by the Native Americans in the 12th century. Suit up and come find out why it
has grown to be one of the fastest growing sports in the country. Lacrosse
combines the basic skills used in soccer, basketball, and hockey into one fast
paced, high scoring game. Athletes will learn all the fundamentals of stick
handling, cradling, passing and shooting, all in a fun, non-checking
environment. Our staff will ensure that campers not only learn the sport of
lacrosse, but also important life skills such as respect, teamwork and
dicipline. Designed for ages 6-8, every athlete will come away with a deep
understanding of the game and its traditions.
Ability:
At the beginner ability level, kids learn fundamentals and more about sports. Emphasis is placed on understanding
the rules and etiquette of the game through creative and constant participation. Skill development is taught through
an introduction of drills, skill-building exercises, and scrimmages. Limited prior experience is helpful. A desire
to build a sport foundation is a plus.
