PROGRAM INFO
Designed for K-2 girls in Mountain Lakes and Boonton Township, Foundations Spring Clinics will introduce the game of lacrosse through small group instruction. Players will learn fundamental skills such as stickwork, proper groundball technique, and basic offensive and defensive skills by participating in drills and fun games that reinforce instructional concepts.
