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

eddie2.gif (83300 bytes)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.
