SUMMER FIELD HOCKEY CAMPS: Welcome
CAPITALLAND LACROSSE AND FIELD HOCKEY CLUB
2009 SUMMER FIELD HOCKEY CAMPS
During the summer of 2009 Capitalland Lacrosse and Field Hockey Club is offering week-long day and evening field hockey camps on the fields in front of the hockey rink at the Clifton Commons in Clifton Park. (Note location change: we are not conducting these programs at the Sportsplex in Halfmoon.)
Our professional staff includes two of the best female coaches in the area, Karen Flewelling and Mary Lou Vosburgh, who will be attending the advanced skill camps and the weekly evening program.
COACH KAREN FLEWELLING: Current USA Futures Field Hockey Coach, Empire State Field Hockey Coach and Former Shaker High School Varsity Field Hockey Head Coach.
COACH MARY LOU VOSBURGH: Former Bethlehem High School Varsity Field Hockey Head Coach, Former SUNY Albany Women's Lacrosse Head Coach, 17 Years as Field Hockey Camp Director
For each camp players will be assigned to groups based on their age and skill level. Each player will be given quality instruction that fits the player's level of experience and includes individual skill work, offensive/defensive tactics and techniques, team concepts, and goalie skills, as well as full-field games and overall recommendations.
Register early to ensure your spot. We will be accepting applications 1/2 hour prior to each scheduled session as long as spots are available.
We do have a pay-per-camp program for those players who can only make one or two events.

Camp descriptions are as follows:
Advanced Camps
This program is for the intermediate and advanced skill level players that have been playing field hockey for a while and have good deal of skill. These players want to refine their skills while being introduced to more advanced techniques, so they can capture a starting position on their high school's team.
Beginner and Novice Camps
This program is for players that are novice or beginning field hockey players who need to sharpen their basic skills while being introduced to more advanced techniques that they will need in order to make their school's modified, freshman or junior varsity teams.
