Boys’ lacrosse is not a sport to be learned on one’s own and lacrosse camps are important training grounds for boys who want to master the sport. There are boys’ lacrosse camps (and girls’ lacrosse camps, too) all over the United States and Canada that provide professional training for kids who want to up their performance in the sport.
Aside from the usual benefits of independence, discipline and camaraderie that a child gets from going to a training camp, lacrosse camps are focused on developing skills that a boy needs to excel in the sport. What exactly does a boy learn at lacrosse camps?
For a boy starting out in the sport, lacrosse camps begin with the fundamentals of lacrosse, something that may not have been adequately covered in school or a hometown club. The history, values, objectives and basics of lacrosse are drilled into the attendees to ensure that they have the necessary theory to back up their skills training.
The next thing that a boy learns at lacrosse camps are the fundamental skills: goalkeeping, defending, setting up plays and attacking. There are lacrosse camps that offer training programs focused on one specific role for those who choose to be goalies, attackers or one specific role or another in a team.
