Questions or Concerns: [email protected] Lacrosse

The TFA Central Florida Girls lacrosse camp is an exciting opportunity for athletes to continue to de-velop as players. Camp will be directed by former Division I Lacrosse coach Regan Denham along with current and former college players and coaches. Coach Denham brings with her a wealth of knowl-edge from over 20 years of lacrosse experience. Our younger players will focus on basic stick work, the fundamentals of defense, offensive strategy, shot placement, and how to begin working as a team. Our older players will focus on advanced stick work (drills you can do on your own post-camp), LEGAL defensive positioning (forcing, doubling, checking), offensive lacrosse IQ, and what it means to be a dis-ciplined, coachable, and unselfish as a player. Ath-letes must have a stick, goggles, and a mouth guard to participate (It may be possible to borrow a stick-contact Coach Denham). Cleats are highly recom-mended for middle and high school athletes. (NEW PLAYERS with little experience are welcome!!)

Gender Specific Training Sessions(Rising Grades 8th - 12th; Boys and Girls)

June 5-29 Mon, Tues, Thurs See times belowJuly 10-27 Mon, Tues, Thurs

Sessions will be grouped together based on gender for rising grades 8-12. Workouts will be geared towards the specific needs of each particular sport. The program is designed to give three training sessions per week (Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday). We ask that, if a student will be participating in multiple sports in the coming school year, that they sign up for the sport that will begin first in the year. They may still attend any of their remaining sports, but we ask that they stick to only one set of workouts. Each gender has a designated time slot that will re-main the same throughout the summer. Each gender has two sessions to choose from. Students may choose which session they wish to attend each day. The information for boys and girls is listed below.
