Fall Lacrosse at Camp Jordan

Chattanooga Lacrosse has partnered with Camp Jordan to host a fall instructional league for boys and girls.

The clinics will focus on the beginner to intermediate level players who want to learn the fundamentals of the game. Knowledgeable coaches and staff will teach the basics of field play and the finer mechanics of throwing, catching, cradling and shooting. Additional clinics will also be offered for parents and anyone interested in coaching.

Five consecutive two-hour clinics will be held on Monday evenings (Sept. 21, Sept. 28, Oct. 5, Oct. 12, Oct. 10) from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.
