HLC Beginner's Summer Camp - Grades 1-12

The Hanover County Lacrosse Club, in cooperation with the Hanover County Department of Parks and Recreation, will conduct a beginner boys’ lacrosse camp June 22-26. The camp will be held 6-8 p.m. Monday through Friday at Pole Green Park in Mechanicsville. The camp fee is $35; the fee for additional siblings is $17. The camp is for boys ages 8 to 18 who have never played lacrosse. The camp will teach fundamental lacrosse skills and team tactics.

The club will be sponsoring summer league activities, and boys who complete the camp may be able to participate in the summer league program. Lacrosse is a contact sport, and complete boys’ lacrosse equipment is required, including stick, helmet, gloves, arm guards, shoulder pads and mouth guard. Boys also should wear soccer-style rubber cleats and bring a water bottle.

The club deals with vendors to obtain team prices for lacrosse equipment. Also, the club has a limited amount of boys’ equipment available to loan so that boys can participate in the camp without the need to purchase all the equipment.

The camp will be taught by Tim Cox. Tim is a member of the club’s board of directors and has been involved with coaching boys’ lacrosse since the club’s start in 2001, and he has previously taught introductory camps.

Registration is through the Department of Parks and Recreation. To register, go to this link on the department’s Web site: www.co.hanover.va.us/parksrec/registration-info.htm

For more information or questions about the camp or equipment, call Tim at 559-5176.
