Camp info:
I wanted to first say how excited all of us here at True Lacrosse are for our Wheaton College camp. This email has some basic administrative notes to help all and to make sure things go smooth as possible. The address of Wheaton College is 501 College Avenue, Wheaton, IL. Registration will be held Monday, June 28 from 10am – 12pm at the Taber Dorm on campus. We will be providing rental equipment for $35, please let me know if this is something you need so I can create a list and it will be waiting for you when checking in. There will be a $25 dollar deposit for all keys handed out to all players, this will be returned when keys are given back upon check out. We will be holding all medication for campers, overnight and day campers. For all medication, please bring it in a bag labeled with camper’s name and specific medication instructions (for example, how many times needed to take or any specific details)
Camp II- July 26-29
-
This four-day camp will be held on the campus of Wheaton College in Wheaton, IL (501 College Avenue, Wheaton, IL 60187). Participants will receive top-notch instruction by Chicago Machine players Jake Deane, Mike Gabel and Ryan Covert, as well as other current and former MLL players and college players and special guest appearances! Dormitories, dining hall, and pool are all walking distance from the two state-of-the-art turf fields that will be used. Each full day of camp will have three sessions.
Session I will develop proper stick skills for passing, catching and ground balls. Campers will also develop proper technique on dodging and defensive play.
Session II will use the skills learned in the earlier session and apply them in game situations. Strategies for fast breaks, unsettled situations and 6 on 6 play will be covered.
Session III will be used for games
