Clinics and more

The men's lacrosse team joined up with a lacrosse club, 413 Lacrosse, and hosted a  clinic for all ages. This clinic went extremely well and was a great experience for both the players and the lacrosse team. It not only helped raise money for the team, but it gave the students an opportunity to coach lacrosse, as there are a few players who are interested in coaching. Coach Robins was extremely pleased with the outcome of the clinic and was happy that he was able to scout some high school players that attended the clinic.

The video above is just an idea of what some of the drills the players went through on Sunday!

Next, the program will be hosting a box lacrosse tournament to also help raise money. Like said before, fundraising can be tough for teams, but if you can do it in fun ways for people, it will be worth it. With that being said, a box lacrosse tournament is a fun way to get people involved. It is a 5v5 tournament including goalies. This tournament is going to be on December 30th so start signing up now!

Working with the Community

This past Sunday, the boys set out to help the community by raking up leafs of the streets of Springfield. This is the second year in a row the team has done this event, and it will not be the last. Coach Robbins is one who loves to get involved with the community. He has had players march in parades, work with kids at the Boys and Girls club, and has more events planned for the future.

Here are some pictures of this past Sunday!









This brings me to a question for the readers. Do you believe that teams should get more involved with the community?

Let us know in the comments!

The End of Fall Ball

First off, I would like to start out by thanking everyone who came out to our Chipotle fundraiser the other day! We raised a good chunk of change that will definitely help us out in the future.

The team played two games the other day against Stringers Shack and Bridgeton Academy. Although the team fell short in both games, they were very close and the team is showing a promising future.
This being our last fall ball scrimmage, our first game will be played February 10th at home against LIU Post. This will be a tough one as LIU Post is normally a top-ranked team in Division 2 lacrosse.

Ah, good ol' New England weather. There really is nothing like it. But, that did not stop the team the other day from conditioning. Even though the lacrosse team is a 'Spring Sport' they do play in a good chunk of winter weather. Which brings up a question for the readers, do you believe spring sports should start later? Or stick to what they are doing already? Leave your comments below!
