Tonight’s Seminole Lacrosse Clinic will feature a talk by University of Virginia Women’s Head Coach Julie Myers. In each of her 17 seasons at the helm of the Cavaliers, Myers has guided her team to the NCAA Championships – a feat matched by no other Division I coach in the same period. Participants in both the Boy’s and Girl’s Clinics will have the opportunity to hear Myers before breaking out into practice groups.

In addition, the Seminole Lacrosse League has been carefully monitoring this afternoon�??s weather situation. There are predictions of scattered, short-lived thunderstorms, so there is the potential that the start of the Clinic may be delayed. However, at this time, it is anticipated that the Seminole Clinic will be held as scheduled.

Update 5:52pm. Based on analysis of real-time radar, the Seminole Clinic will be held as scheduled.

Therefore, it is anticipated that tonight’s opening Seminole League Clinic, featuring a talk by University of Virginia Head Coach Dom Starsia, will be held as scheduled.

The Seminole Lacrosse League will kick off its Silver Anniversary season tonight with a four-night clinic for boys aged 5 – 13. The clinic will be held at Darden Towe Park Monday through Thursday evenings, from 6:30 to 8:00pm.

The League is pleased that, once again, University of Virginia Head Coach Dom Starsia and former VMI Head Coach Doug Bartlett will be speakers at the clinic.

If you would like your child to participate, but have not yet registered, simply download a registration application and bring it to the field tonight.

The purpose of the Seminole League Clinic is to educate and prepare players for participation in the Seminole League. It is for all players with skill levels ranging from beginner to expert. Points of emphasis include fundamentals, stick skills, rules, and fun. It is very important for beginners to attend the clinic before participating in the League.

Players should come to the first night of the Clinic with a stick and gloves. Players who have not signed up for the Clinic are welcome to attend; please bring a competed application form and a check.

The Seminole League sports an extremely high coach to player ratio, insuring that all participants receive individual attention. Many of Seminole�??s coaches are still active players themselves, and have played in collegiate, club, and international competition.
