Welcome to Seth Tierney Boys Lacrosse Camp 2013
For Campers Entering Grades 3-12
Session 2: July 15 - 26
|
Seth Tierney Boys Lacrosse Camp is for boys who desire a full day of training in all facets of lacrosse. The goal is to teach the fundamentals of individual, group and team lacrosse skills – stressing the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, and a strong work ethic – while offering a balanced, fun-filled experience for players trying to improve their game.
Camp Objectives
The camp is divided into three separate divisions: Gold Division (grades 9-12), Blue Division (grades 6-8), and White Division (grades 3-5). The emphasis during the first week is on individual, group and team skills development.
Daily Program
The day is divided into four periods: two practice sessions, lunch and an educational lecture and/ or film, and the opportunity to swim. Camper placement is adjusted according to size, maturity and skill level following evaluation by the coaches. Players learn the fundamental aspects of dodging, passing, catching, shooting, individual defense, goalie play, and face-off technique. In addition, players learn team skills such as team offense, team defense, riding, clearing and transition play.
What to Wear/Bring
Each camper should wear daily: cotton T-shirt, athletic shorts, sneakers and socks. An equipment bag should be brought every day, containing a lacrosse stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, mouthpiece, athletic supporter and cleats. Bathing suit and towel will be needed on assigned swim days. Campers must bring their own water bottle. Please label all items clearly with first and last name. Hofstra is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
There is a 10-to-1 student-to-instructor ratio. Our instructors are professional teachers who have played college lacrosse and currently coach at either the middle or high school level. Our counselors are all athletes who have played or are currently playing at the Division I level.
Each camper takes home a Hofstra Pride jersey.
