Junior Boys Skills Camp September 2025

Skills Camp at Half-Term Autumn 2024
For young Players (boys and girls) aged roughly 9 - 12 playing Men’s Rules Field Lacrosse

What? - A Two Day Camp which will focus on progressing individual skills during morning sessions and team skills in the afternoon. We will also provide the opportunity to develop specialist skills - such as ‘face off’. The programme will be challenging and good fun but limited to the first 20 applicants.

Who? - The programme will be ideal for players with Pop or Field Lacrosse experience but those new to the Sport will also be very welcome.

Where? - The Camp will be run on grass on the field on ‘Openview’ – the other side of the Spencer Astro from the Spencer Club (see map below/over). Entrance will be through the Spencer Club, across the field and through the gated passage alongside the bottom end of the Astro.

Equipment? - will be available to borrow and be allocated for the period of the camp but players may also bring their own/club equipment. Players will need sporty clothing suitable for the weather including a waterproof if rain is forecast, a packed lunch, a snack or two and some water (ideally not a sugary drink).

Each day? - registration and equipment collection will open at 9.30am on the Openview Field with the Camp day starting at 10am. There will be a supervised break for lunch between 12.30 and 1.30pm and the Camp will close each day at 4pm. An early drop off from 9am is possible by arrangement.

Leadership? - The Lead coach for the camp will be Peter Compton, the Spencer Lacrosse Club Head Coach supported by experienced coaches from the Senior Club – most are players who have started in our own Junior Programme but are now playing at High School & University. Peter has successfully coached club and international teams for over 30 years, is a qualified Lacrosse Association Level 2 coach, holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, is DBS checked and First Aid Certified.

How much?  - One day = £25; Two days = £45. There is a 10% discount for players who have signed up for our 2025/26 season – code available on request.
