John Grant Jr. Lacrosse Camp June 11-13, 2012 Marietta, GA 301-377-9750 www.prolacrossecamps.com PO Box 91, Olney MD 20830 Instruction exclusively by professional and college lacrosse players & coaches. Camp Features -18 hours of expert instruction by a staff exclusively comprised of current and former college, pro, and national team lacrosse players and coaches over the course of 3 days -Dry fit camp t-shirt and reversible practice jersey -Lunches provided by local restaurants (served in an indoor air conditioned facility) -Opportunities to win prizes during daily competitions Age Groups Ages 7-18 are welcome. Age groups are based on the grade the camper will enter the following school year. The age groups are: 4th grade and under 5th-6th graders 7th-8th graders 9th-12th graders It is our intention to staff the camp with enough coaches to have an offensive and defensive coach for each age group. However, some age groups may be combined depending on enrollment size at each level. Goalies will be divided by age and experience level. Positions This camp provides instruction for every position (attack, middies, defense and goalies). Age groups are divided by attack & middies in one group and defense in another group. Goalies will have their own coaches. Coaching Staff All coaches have college or professional playing or coaching experience. We assign coaches to stations, not to age groups, ensuring campers will receive instruction from all of our talented coaches vs. just one. Experience This camp is beneficial for experienced players and beginners. Because the camp is properly staffed the coaching staff can give the attention players of all skill levels deserve. Less experienced players will benefit from the focus on fundamentals. Experienced players will benefit from learning how to perfect their fundamentals from college and pro players and coaches. Perfecting fundamentals is how good players become great players.
