A major fundraiser every year is our Youth Winter Clinic Series. Saturday, the team hosted over 40 youngsters to teach skills and participate in competitions to accumulate Scrapper Points. The Points will carry over to next week's clinic when the C.O.D. (Camper of the Day) is announced. Here, assistant coach Chad Bongiovanni interviews a veteran clinic participant, Michael.
The team enjoys doing the clinics, and you can see it on the kids' faces. One thing I try to instill in our players is to enjoy what you are doing. I'm not exactly sure what is going on in the background, but you give the players a camera and a little leeway...
Friday's practice saw Kyle Koslowski take home the Hammer. He won the hit-and-run competition. In his speech he spoke about how he appreciates being around teammates that not only come to practice and work hard, but how everyone looks forward to coming to practice everyday. Everyone wants to be there and is all in.
Just like we stress in our clinics, there is a lot of satisfaction in making the decision to show up with a positive attitude everyday and enjoying what you do.
I'd like to give a shout out to Jordan Hibbard. His speeches were legendary, and it was great to see him develop into the ace of our staff in two years at Fredonia State. We have had a lot of great speeches by different players this semester, and every great speech is compared to one of Hibbard's. He set the standard!
All Trilogy Lacrosse clinics are based on the assumption that players need to know WHY they are doing what they are on the field and increasing players lacrosse IQ is our goal for every session. And so these kids will need youth catchers gear.
