LOVE-2-LAX at THE LAKE FOREST REC DEPARTMENT (no travel)
-
With the support and on-field assistant coaching from LFLA, Lake Forest Rec Department will manage and implement this clinic-based program in the spring each season. This program is designed for the athletes that don't desire the competition and / or commitment of a travel league experience. Led by professional LFRD Staff, this program will emphasize FUN. Fundamental skill development will also be emphasized through drill work and honed through small group games and scrimmage play. This program will meet once a week for 90 minutes and will be broken up into grade specific groups. Athletes will receive a reversible jersey, but athletes will need to supply their own equipment, including a helmet, mouth guard, lacrosse gloves, lacrosse stick, elbow pads, shoulder pads, protective cup and cleats.
