Camp Directors Jeff Popham, Rory Whipple, and experienced staff invite you to play in our sixth annual camp. Like last year’s highly successful camp, the 2010 OSL Camp will be a great experience for accomplished as well as beginning players. With the great game of lacrosse evolving at a fast rate, we feel our camp will give you the tools to be successful on and off the field. Our goal is to develop each camper into a faster, stronger, more confident and complete team player.
Our emphasis will be on:
- motivating you to master the fundamentals- cradling, passing, catching, cutting, scooping, and shooting with both the strong and weak hand.
- teaching you the advanced team play skills at each position- attack, midfield, defense, goalie- to give you the confidence to excel!!
- practicing special situations to prepare you for success in those critical points in a game.
- improving your strength, speed, and agility.
- bringing out the best in you in the skills competitions and daily games.
- instilling confidence, encouraging teamwork and sportsmanship, and having fun!!
Campers will receivea lacrosse jersey, water bottle, free buffet lunch daily, and special gift.
If you want a camp that is conveniently located at a great facility, run by a knowledgeable and experienced staff, and is a great value, then the OSL Camp is for you!!
