The boys Rookie Camp will be held on Thursday, Feb 11, 2010, at Forekicks in Norfolk from 5:30 – 7:00 PM.

The WYLL will be modifying our Rookie Camp this year to include Rookie Coaches. The Rookie Camp will be held on a single night for brand new players who will be playing in the U11, U13, or U15 levels. We will cover the following lacrosse concepts:

  • Cradling
  • Throwing and Catching
  • Ground Balls
  • Shooting
  • Chalk Talk, to discuss the lacrosse field, player positions, faceoffs, sideline etiquette, etc.

Rookie players should arrive with full equipment: helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, stick, mouth guard, and a cup. If your son does not yet have his equipment, the WYLL recommends the Starter Equipment Package on sale at ComLax in Franklin. Please see the Boys Page for more information regarding the Starter Equipment Package. A bottle of water would be a good idea.

Rookie Coaches in the U9 and U11 levels will be included in the Rookie Camp. Rookie Coaches should arrive at Forekicks 30 minutes prior to the start of the Rookie Camp, at 5:00 PM.
