During the summer of 2009 Capitalland Lacrosse and Field Hockey Club is offering week-long day and evening Boys lacrosse 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 coaches in the area, Gary Weiss and Chad Finck.

COACH GARY WEISS:  Former Shenendehowa High School Varsity Boys Lacrosse Head Coach and 1992 Coach of the Year, four CDHSLL Championships and Empire State Games Coach 1993-94

COACH CHAD FINCK:  Former Shaker High School Varsity Boys Lacrosse Head Coach, five-time Section II Champion, eight CDHSLL Championships and Empire State Games Coach 1989-90

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.

Camp descriptions are as follows:

Advanced Skills Camps (Grades 6-10)
This program is for the intermediate and advanced skill level players that have been playing lacrosse 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 (Grades 6-10)
This program is for players that are novice or beginning lacrosse 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.
