Clinic Program Information
The goal of the Carroll Manor Boys Lacrosse Clinic is to introduce the next generation of lacrosse players to the fundamentals of lacrosse in a fun and instructive environment.
Carroll Manor offers 2 levels of Lacrosse Clinic to accommodate boys at all levels. Clinic A is a basic introduction to lacrosse while Clinic B provides skill-appropriate advancement for second year players to better prepare for transition to the Tykers level.
Both Clinic A and Clinic B will practice simultaneously in separate groups at the same field location. Both clinics will focus upon the fundamentals of lacrosse: scooping, cradling, catching, throwing, dodging, defense, basic field positions, etc... In addition to the field time, we will provide educational information (handouts) to the boys for practicing and reviewing at home.
In order to make our program a success, we rely greatly upon the involvement of parents. Volunteer coaches to help with drills and coaching will be required at both clinic levels in order to maximize individual attention for each boy. Prior knowledge of lacrosse is not a requirement (we will teach you too!) but certainly welcome! Additionally, the boys will achieve the greatest advancement and confidence if they practice their skills at home. Handouts will be distributed to remind players and parents of the recommended skills and drills when away from practice.
Clinic A
Clinic A is intended for younger and first year lacrosse players and boys not yet ready to commit to playing with equipment. Clinic A will focus upon learning lacrosse fundamentals and exercising fundamentals through drills. Skills introduced include cradling, scooping, catching, throwing, shooting and dodging. Boys will participate in small intra-clinic scrimmages. Protective gear will not be worn as all drills and scrimmages will be no-contact and soft-balls.
The following equipment is provided by the Program: practice pinnies and soft lacrosse balls.
The following equipment must be provided by the player: Regulation lacrosse stick (preferably cut to 36" long). Please do not bring non-regulation lacrosse sticks or fiddle-sticks. Cleats are desired.
Clinic B
Clinic B is intended for boys who are ready to play with equipment and who intend to move on to the Tykers level in the following season. Clinic B players will utilize full equipment and regulation balls.

Boys will participate in small intra-clinic scrimmages, and may participate in limited scrimmages with other clinic programs as schedules allow.
