The Girls Lacrosse Camp has established itself as a fun camp for girls to learn the game of lacrosse. This camp is designed for girls ages 8-14 with emphasis on fundamental stick skills, offensive and defensive strategies, and competitive games.
Our dedicated staff from many collegiate programs ensures each camper's growth and knowledge of lacrosse. Special emphasis is placed on increasing each camper's knowledge of rules, concepts, and strategies, maintaining a clear concept about sportsmanship, and encouraging campers to enjoy and relish the thrill of competition.
SPECIALIZED GOALKEEPING INSTRUCTION
Individual goalkeeping sessions will be available from our experienced staff, covering technical skills as well as key footwork necessary for developing keepers. If you are attending camp as a goalie, please check the appropriate space on the application.
What to Bring
Campers for all camps should dress so that you will be ready to participate actively in games and skill building activities. We recommend wearing shorts and a t-shirt or sweatshirt, depending on the weather. A lacrosse stick, mouth guard and goggles are required. Your child's footwear should provide good lateral support and be appropriate for the sport in which he or she is signed up. Also add a pair of flip-flops or sneakers for the lunch break. In addition, you should bring an athletic bag with sun block, swimsuit, towel, change of clothes for the afternoon session, and jacket in case of rain. Finally, be sure to clearly label all items.
Program Objectives
- Improve basic and fundamental skills: throwing, catching, cradling, and shooting
- Gain knowledge in offense and defense areas, team tactics, and field vision
- Build self-confidence and maintain a positive attitude, individually and as a team
- Ensure that every camper leaves with a better knowledge and enjoyment of the game
EQUIPMENT: Campers must bring their stick, mouth guard, goggles, cleats, and sneakers for potential indoor and/or turf play. Goalies must bring a complete set of goalie equipment.
