Lacrosse Clinics for Girls

All TWS girls (and friends and neighbors) interested invited to participate: We will be starting fall clinics/scrimmages at Bluebird on Sundays from 2-330p. Plans are to start this Sunday Sept 30th and will go for at least 4 weeks. Cost is only $10/clinic and you can pay for all or as you go, all proceeds go to the Neptunes. These are for everyone and we encourage you to bring some friends who may be interested, we'll have extra sticks and goggles so they can give it a try! Tournaments: Both local tournaments are a 7v7 format. Although we'll be playing at a U13 level, we feel all of our U11 players would be well-suited for these games. Cost will likely be $5060/player per tournament (based on interest). We will have more than one team at each event. Contact Dan Neumann at [email protected] if interested.
