I'm interested in signing up for a lacrosse clinic at the Naval Academy, but I'm not sure what to expect. How intensive is it, and what skills do they primarily focus on during these clinics?
As someone who's heard lots about these types of events, I can share a general understanding of what the Naval Academy Lacrosse Clinic might entail. Typically at these clinics, they provide a combination of skill development, tactical knowledge, and exposure to the coaching staff and current players. It's a unique opportunity to experience a bit of what being a lacrosse player at the academy might be like.
In terms of intensity, it usually mirrors the spirit of collegiate level training, so expect it to be fairly rigorous. Coming prepared with a good base level of fitness would be advisable. They cover a variety of skills, ranging from basic lacrosse fundamentals like passing, shooting, and stick handling to more complex defensive and offensive strategies. Position-specific coaching is another component that might well be part of the experience.
However, the exact content can vary from session to session and year to year. It would be a great idea to reach out to the clinic's organizers for more specific information about the upcoming session. Remember, these events can be just as valuable for the exposure and networking opportunities they provide as they are for improving your skills as a lacrosse player. Good luck, and enjoy the experience!
