BEGINNER CAMP FORMATOur Beginner camp also includes the teaching camp in the camp fee. Beginning players arrive a day before the teaching camp players and spend 4 sessions learning basic lacrosse skills. These skills include Running with the stick, cradling, throwing, catching, scooping, field lines, wall work and basic defensive skills. As the main camp starts drills, beginning players will be integrated into the teaching camp. The play at our camp is controlled and structured. We do not allow body checking at any time during camp. Over aggressive play is dealt with immediately. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Beginner camp has 2 divisions Division 1 - High School This division is for players in grades 9 - 12. This division handles all levels of experience, from novice to advanced. If you are a 9th grader and brand new to the game and is struggling in division 1, he can be moved to division 2 if the staff and the Director feel it will benefit the player. All players in this division will be assigned to a team for game play at the end of the week. All players will participate in skill contests during one of the sessions, for awards.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Division 2 Middle/Elementary School This division is for players in grades 4 - 8. We have some of the best teaching coaches in this division. This division handles all levels of experience, from novice to advanced as well. If an 8th grader is very advanced in his skills, he can be moved up to division 1 to play against better players. The staff and the Director make it their mission to get each player in the right place so they properly learn and have some success.. All players in this division will be assigned to a team for game play at the end of the week. All Division 2 players will participate in skill contests during one of the sessions, for awards.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Director and our staff go above and beyond what most camps do in regards to evaluating player skill level. It is vital to the player that he is in the right group when learning. Our first 4 sessions at camp are spent doing basic lacrosse skills. The fifth session is spent evaluating players during drills so we can match them with the proper teaching groups and move them immediately if their experience and skill level dictates. This behind the scenes discipline is what sets us apart from the rest. We hope to see your son at the beginner camp this summer. This is the only beginner camp in the West and is the perfect place to begin your lacrosse career. Take a chance with us, we won't let you down. | | |
