University of Minnesota Preseason Clinic: Sunday, February 21 from 11:30am-3:30pm at the Field house on campus

This clinic will now be offered at $65 for FOUR hours of clinic time with college coaches, former NCAA players, and utilizing the Gophers space on campus IF you send everything in by the registration date! (This is $15 off the originally published price of $80…) Walk-in registration on the morning of the clinic will be accepted but will be $70. (Costs cover coaches, insurance for the event, Xeroxing of packets for players and coaches to take with them, etc. Any funds left over will be donated to the Gophers to help with their travel expenses…as the UofM travels the country playing top teams they are helping to promote – in very positive ways – the Minnesota lacrosse community, which is good for all of the younger players!)

The Gophers coaching staff and players hope this helps your daughter be able to participate given the challenging economic times – we do not want access to be an issue for anybody in the community! Many opportunities exist in the lax community now, after over a decade of growth and development in the sport, so please be a wise consumer and discern what your daughter will be getting for the costs.

We will offer your daughter four hours of conditioning, speed training, stick skills development and specialized development (draws, attacking and defending the crease, goalie training, etc.). We will provide participants with things each of them can do in their own time regardless of space to improve their individual skills and to get conditioned for their upcoming spring seasons.

And, it will also be fun…we work hard and have fun…in the Gopher program we believe that unless we are passionate about the sport and what we’re doing to become more excellent then, no sense investing the time and money…when it’s fun we all perform better!

Schedule: 1 clinic – Sunday – February 21 – 11:30-3:30 (Registration begins at 11:00am)
Location: Field House, University of Minnesota
Who can play: Girls in grades 5- 12 – beginner, intermediate and advanced

CLICK HERE for the registration form as well as the UofM required insurance form to the address listed on the registration form…and please note that all funds raised go toward the Gophers' (#18 in USLacrosse preseason WDIA poll J) travel as they are playing – on the road – 8 of the top 16 teams in the WDIA this spring including highly ranked VA Tech, University of Michigan, Colorado State and Santa Clara University among others! (Go Gophers!!!)
