Lacrosse Pick Up and Play FREE Clinic
USA Lacrosse Sponsored Clinic 

Hosted by East Greenwich Lacrosse Association

November 3rd from 2:30 to 3:30pm

East Greenwich High School on the Easement Fields.

The USA Lacrosse Pick Up & Play Clinic is designed to provide a fun, positive, and successful beginner

experience with the sport of lacrosse. The goal is for participants to have the best experience possible

while learning lacrosse skills and developing the ability, confidence, and desire to play more.

The curriculum of Athlete Development incorporates:

     1. Inclusive and Age-Appropriate—We want to create a welcoming environment for all. We use
       games, activities, and guided learning to reflect best practices in physical education and athlete
       development.
     2. Multisport Participation—We encourage athletes to play multiple sports and participate in a variety
        of physical activities. We encourage rest, want to avoid burnout, and want to decrease the risk of
        overuse injuries.
     3. Fun and Player-Centered—Fun is the #1 reason kids play sports. The experience is about the player
        and making the experience fun for them. We use games because they’re fun teaching tools and
        create greater engagement and learning for players.
     4. Small-Sided and Free Play—We increase participation, creativity, playing, and learning by breaking
         the field into smaller spaces (stations). There are more opportunities to focus and use the skill
         being taught.
     5. Trained Coaches—Trained coaches provide better experiences for players because they are
         educated about best practices in teaching and learning for the players.
     6. Physical Literacy—We focus on physical literacy because knowing how to move and having the
         ability to do what one wants with one’s body are the building blocks for athleticism. Dedicating
         time to focus on this helps participants in developing their lacrosse skills.
