The Machelen Minotaurs are hosting their first summer lacrosse camp on 29th and 30th of June 2013. They would like to invite all interested players to please take part in their first ever summer Lacrosse camp. The ELF supports the growth of the game in Europe over all and especially in the newer countries. Founded in 2011, the Minotaurs are competing in the Belgian cup and now look to take their game to the next level. This camp is carried out by the Belgium Lacrosse Federation, the Machelen Minotaurs and the ELF.

For this men's Lacrosse camp, the Minotaurs have secured the services of two experienced coaches:
- Brian Potter, a former NLL-player and current head coach of the Cologne Indians and the Spanish national team
- Henning Schmidt, currently serving in the ELF as the Vice President Men's Lacrosse and current coach of Welwyn Warriors Women's Lacrosse

The camp will include at least four practice sessions covering all aspects of the game: shooting, dodging, settled/unsettled offense/defense and riding/clearing.

While there is no women's lacrosse in Machelen at the moment, Henning and Brian have experience in coaching in women's Lacrosse. If any women's lacrosse players are interested- we would be delighted to have women's Lacrosse at the camp! Please contact Arnor so the Minotaurs and the ELF can arrange for a women's Lacrosse segment (onder-voorzitter@machelenminotaurs.com).

Players can register for their seat immediately. All registrations paid in full by May 1st are priced at EUR 30. Later registrations cost EUR 35. Please contact Arnor via onder-voorzitter@machelenminotaurs.com for registration and payment details.

There is a total of 30 seats available for the camp, which will be placed on a first come first serve basis (date of payment counts).

Players need to arrange for the camp:
- Lacrosse gear: stick, helmet & gloves minimum
- footwear for grass fields and astro turf
- a convertible top, ideally with a number or one white and one black top
- accommodation in Machelen, transport etc.
- appropriate health insurance

The camp fee includes:
- free lunch on Saturday and Sunday
- four sessions of at least two hours
- tactical instruction during breaks ("chalk talk")
- individual (verbal) feedback for each player

Players who participated in camps have consistently improved both their individual AND their team's game, so we encourage players of ALL levels to take part.

In case of any questions, please contact Arnor directly.

Yours in Lacrosse
