WE HAVE Three (3) DIVISIONS
AT CAMP
THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYONE IN OUR CAMP!
DIVISION ONE
This division is
for PLAYERS IN
GRADES 9 THROUGH 12.
Rick Zoerner and Dave Long are its coordinators.
In this
division,
we will take the curriculum at a faster pace. The players will
experience a brief refresher coarse on fundamentals, basically to
break any bad habits and to fine tune basic skills. This division
will then focus on the transition areas (fast breaks, rides, clears
& open field areas). They will dive hard into six-on-six situations
concentrating on offensive and defensive team concepts. They will
spend some time practicing game-like situations in scrimmage
settings. The camp will round out with several games played against
all other players in their division with the emphasis on learning,
not on winning. All players will leave camp with confidence in both
their hands and ready to contribute to their lacrosse programs.
DIVISION TWO
 This
is the division for young, experienced, players and Coach Tom
Summers is the coordinator. This division is
for PLAYERS IN
GRADES 5 THROUGH 8.
If a player has played before, is OK with the
fundamentals, can catch and throw, then this is the division for you. We will move players
through the curriculum at a slower pace than D1 and concentrate on teaching
proper technique so no bad habits are formed. The camper to staff
ratio in this division is 8:1. This division will start the week by
learning the fundamentals properly by some of the best teachers in
the country. This division will then touch on the transition areas
(fast breaks, rides, clears & open field areas). They will then move
into six-on-six situations concentrating on offensive and defensive
team concepts. They will spend some time practicing game-like
situations in scrimmage settings, stopping play when mistakes are
made as well as when success is accomplished. The week will round
out with games.
*********************************************************************
DIVISION THREE
This
is the division for young, inexperienced, brand new, novice players
and Coach Will McMinn is the coordinator. This division is
for PLAYERS IN
GRADES 1 THROUGH 4.
If a player has never played before, struggles with the
fundamentals, has trouble catching and throwing, then this is the division for you. We will move players
through the different curriculum at a slow pace concentrating on teaching
proper technique and fundamentals. The camper to staff
ratio in this division is 6:1 instead of the overall camp ratio of 8:1. This division will start the week by using the wall and
learning the fundamentals properly by patient, solid teachers. This division will then touch on the transition areas
(fast breaks, rides, clears & open field areas). They will then move
into six-on-six situations concentrating on offensive and defensive
team concepts. They will spend some time practicing game-like
situations in scrimmage settings, stopping play when mistakes are
made as well as when success is accomplished. The week will round
out with games.
We are one of the few camps that actually
split the camp into different divisions so to reach the levels and
the curriculum pace of all players while still maintaining the
integrity of the camp and a sense of camp unity. We also teach to
different levels within each Division so all players are taught at
the pace and skill level that will optimize solid learning. It is
our paramount concern that all players go through camp injury free
and have a positive athletic experience. Please check out the other
areas about our summer camp program and continue the tour.
