Camaraderie, friendships, and an atmosphere conducive to success at every level, the FLG Summer Camp program offers children in grades K through 8the opportunity to build character and have fun through the game of lacrosse. Held over a four-day span, the program not only features instruction in lacrosse fundamentals, but it offers camp-like activities and other competitive events. An experience unlike any other on Long Island, the participants will be immersed in a program that offers a wide variety.
While conducted as a day camp, the premise of the program stems from the sleep-away camp model. Color war, one of the camp’s mainstays, integrates all of the campers, from the youngest to the oldest. Through this competition, players learn to work together towards a common goal with games, such as an apache relay, mini lacrosse tournaments and tug-of-war.
“Our summer camp is a unique experience where children of every level come together through the sport of lacrosse,” said Joy Winkoff, administrative director at FLG Lacrosse. “Implementing solid instruction and guidance, they are taught how to become better athletes, teammates and competitors while forging new friendships along the way.”
FLG’s Summer Camp program is also designed to help lacrosse players at every level develop and improve upon their skills. The FLG Select Team coaching staff acts as the camp’s directors; children enrolled in this program have the benefit of learning from FLG’s elite core of coaches. They will review the fundamentals as well as delve into the advanced FLG curriculum used in the Select Team program.
“FLG prides itself on its ability to train lacrosse players at the basic level and transform them into elite players,” said Mike Winkoff, CEO at FLG Lacrosse. “Through our advanced curriculum and methodology, players at every level will benefit from the training they will receive in our Summer Camp program.”
In addition, the designation of honorary titles, Camper of the Day and Camper of the Week, offers incentives for children to play at their optimal level every day. The winners are not necessarily the best lacrosse players; rather, the child who displays the most heart, teamwork, and leadership is awarded with amazing prizes, such as FLG gear, sticks, duffel bags, and more.
Campers will also partake in traditional lacrosse activities, such as mini lacrosse and lacrosse drills. The FLG Summer Camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Monday, June 30th through Thursday, July 3rd. The cost of the program is $450 per child. Registration ends on June 15th.
