Enrichment at the Academy

This 'mini-camp' will include all the basics with what it takes to be a lacrosse player. We will teach fundamentals and basic movements in a fun, engaging way. The boys will be able to play once every day, in a small-sided setting, to put their skills to the test. After three days, each player will be able to come away with learning at least one new skill and with a greater appreciation for the Game. The foundation will have been laid for many competitive years ahead!

Session Dates:  May 25-27

Time:  3:30 - 4:30 PM

Director: Ryan Tucker, Varsity Boys Lacrosse Coach

This is the place to learn the sport of Field Hockey! During these five fun-filled sessions, varsity players will teach your daughter the important skills of the game so she can be successful! The sessions will always end with game play. We ask that the girls bring their own mouth guard, shin guards and water bottle. We have sticks and goggles that they can borrow.
