Submitted by Walax on Wed, 2011-06-01 17:03

Welcome to the Prodigy Elite Middle School Lacrosse Camp! 2011 August 15th-19th @ University of Washington

In its fourth year, Prodigy provides higher level coaching and dedicated instruction for elite players entering 8th and 9th grade with some of the best coaches in the Northwest.  Coaches foster improved fundamentals and players improve their elite level of play.

The nomination process for this camp occurs through each middle school coach, filling out an indication of interest form or by invite from Prodigy.  Any interested player may apply, with their coach's recommendation.  Session attendance will be limited based on the total number of players per team (18-20 players) for a maximum of 8 teams of 160 players, and the positions of the players applying. 

160 players (Maximumh) will consist of:
40 attackmen
48 defensemen
56 midfielders
8 goalies and spots for 8 coaches choice selections.
 

HOW DO I APPLY?

Fill out the following Interest Form, and mail to the address on the form, or e-mail prodigycamp@gmail.com for more information.

Players will hail from Washington, Oregon and B.C..  Prodigy will focus on developing individual skills as well as advanced team concepts through instruction, drills and game play.  Each player will be assigned a team upon arrival at camp.  One of the major focuses will be the growth of the "Hybrid Player".  Many of the coaches have experience playing both indoor and outdoor Lacrosse, and will impart the benefits of both styles of play.  College Lacrosse coaches have sung the praise of players who can work in tight spaces and create transition in the open field.  There will be two All-star teams chosen (36 players) from all 8 teams constituting the best in the Northwest in a final game at the end of camp.

Prizes will be awarded for Camper of the Day, and an overall Camper of the Week.  Additional prizes will include MVP awards for position and Coach's Award.
