Opting For Maryland Lacrosse Camps

By Celia Hall


Maryland could well be counted as the lacrosse capital of the country, as can be seen clearly from the number of Maryland lacrosse camps. The state has a long and rich history in this sport and joining a team is quite a tradition in many families there. If you are looking to join one such camp this year, let this article help you by listing how to choose the one which is right for you.

Even players who want different levels of training or experience should look for some things in clubs which are absolutely essential. Safety comes first, and this is true for safety both on the field and off it. Good organization is all important. Talk to people you know who have been to such a place so you know more about how things work at such a camp.

Now, if you are a new player and are looking to make a start with the sport, you should remember that the most important thing is to make things easy for yourself. You should pick a place which is conveniently located so that travelling is not an issue. The hours should also be such that you can easily manage. The cost should also not be too high, as it might be that you find out this is not your sport at all.

That said, it is still important to find Maryland lacrosse camps which have a good instructor. Preferably one who has coached or played at a higher level. Such a coach will make sure that you pick up the basics correctly and do not use any techniques which are incorrect, but become habits that are hard to let go of later. It is also a good sign if a curriculum is in place, as this ensures that the learning will be systematic.

Players who have already had some experience and have played a little will want a more thorough place to learn at and should also be willing to invest more time into this pursuit. Playing against others who are also competent is one thing an experienced player should desire from a clinic.

You should bear in mind that a stint at Maryland lacrosse camps is about a lot more than what meet the eye. You will probably have a chance to interact with other people there, take part in other sports as well, watch movies, have good meals and so on. Try to enjoy the experience and not pine after just lacrosse.

If you are an advanced player, you should examine your own performance and see which areas you are good at and the ones where you need to improve. Perform a very correct and honest evaluation of your own skills, and then decide to go to a clinic which works to hone the areas in which you are deficient.

Finally, a word about choosing between summer training centres and those that work throughout the year. It is definitely better to go for the latter, as these Maryland lacrosse camps definitely seem to be more focused than the ones which operate for a few months every year and try to fit a lot into a short span of time.
