MISSION 

The mission of the Program on the Rise Lacrosse Camp is to combine the advantages of a teaching camp with the competition and camaraderie of a team camp, as well as offering the opportunity to educate coaches in an interactive clinic that combines blackboard teaching segments with live instruction resulting in the development of the complete program where players and coaches both benefit.

A YEAR OF COACHING

You, as a head coach, will remain in contact with our coaching staff throughout your season.  Schedule a one hour call each week or call when you like - coaching is the lasting benefit in this program.

INTRODUCTION

 There has been a steady rise in the number of team camps in the sport of lacrosse over the past five years.  However, the focus of these camps has been completely on competition.  There is a need for a team camp in the sport of lacrosse that offers the opportunity for teaching and development of the High School program as a whole.  Program on the Rise Lacrosse Camp seeks to provide an experience led by college coaches in an interactive setting where high school coaches and players learn the skills and concepts, driving today’s game with the end result of creating a competitive edge for next spring’s squad.  The benefit to both player and coach will be felt from pre-season to state championship.

CAMP STRUCTURE

 Teams must have a roster of no less than twenty players.  Individuals and small groups of campers who wish to attend the camp will be placed on combined or independent teams. 

 Each high school team will be assigned a coaching staff consisting of college coaches and players.  High school coaches will be assigned to a commissioner who will administer the interactive clinic aspect of the camp.  The clinic will run concurrent with the camp discussing skills and concepts that will be executed by the campers.

 Players will have the advantage of learning while participating with their teammates, which builds a strong foundation for next season.  Teams will be developed at the same pace and with the same concepts throughout the camp.  Individual and fundamental skill instruction will progress to advanced team concepts by the end of the camp.  Players will compete for a camp championship at the end of the week.

 Morning instructional sessions will develop concepts from the positional to the team level, preparing the campers to compete in afternoon and evening games.  Additional positional instruction in goalie play, shooting, and face off play will lead to the most extensive camp teaching and playing experience offered in the sport of lacrosse.

INTERACTIVE CLINIC

2004 ELITE CAMP INTERACTIVE COACH’S CLINIC FEEDBACK:  

“Excellent Clinic!  Incorporating your talks with the camp is a great idea.  Being able to show drills and game situations through the camp was most beneficial.”-Phil Kenney, Cape Cod Academy

 “Great new practice ideas.  The mini game format with its competition-based flexibility will be hugely important in improving our program”-Andrew Gray, The Rectory School

2005 PROGRAM ON THE RISE TEAM CAMP FEEDBACK:

"Thanks for everything on the trip. It was by far the most valuable time I've spent for me & my players, as a lacrosse coach. You and your staff were great. ...I needed to fully immerse myself into something like this. It gave me and my players a Division I experience (tempo, level of expectation, etc.) which we need in order to help our program get to the next level. …”

“Your program seemed to provide an opportunity to synthesize ideas and better order my system.  After going through the camp, I feel I have a much stronger understanding of the game... your coaching of my players reinforced concepts we were working to get them to buy into.”

“Again, it was the most valuable thing we've ever done as a program.   Interactive clinics were awesome. I enjoyed the ability to see concepts we discussed in clinic used on the field ...Coach's playbook...tremendous. Availability of staff, great!  I really want to see if I can significantly increase my numbers for next year. This camp can be beneficial with regard to preparing a team for summer tournaments/champ camp or hotbeds."

-Joe Haemmerle,  Head Coach Bergen Catholic (NJ) High School
