Players wearing white jerseys cheered as their teammate scored a goal while on the other half of the field two more teams were battling for the next goal during the Clarkston Lacrosse Camps last week.
“It’s going good,” said Brian Kaminskas, head coach for Clarkston Boys Varsity Lacrosse, adding they had a lot of players sign up for the camps for beginner and experienced levels. “We had a lot of girls this year which is great for the growth. We are in a bit of a boom cycle for lacrosse right now.”

Campers worked on their skills in dodging, shooting, passing and scooping.
“It’s different ways we can put fun in the fundamentals, have them fall a little deeper in love with the sport and get them more technically sound,” Kaminskas said.
Campers learned from coaches and current players in the boys program.
“Both sides like it,” Kaminskas said. “The older I get, the harder it gets for them to want to relate to me. It goes back to if you can teach it, you understand it. When we get these guys out there it allows them to break things down and work through issues. It’s been self realization. And, they are a lot of fun with the kids.”
Camps was offered through Clarkston Community Education.
