Girls Lacrosse Camp
Grades 1-9
The first girls’ lacrosse program in the United States was established nearly a century ago and the sport continues to thrive. No other sport is growing faster at the high school or college level, resulting in countless opportunities for young women to make their mark. Girls Lacrosse Camp is for both new and experienced players. Players of all ability levels pick up the finer points of offensive and defensive responsibilities and stick control while learning perseverance.
Why does Fessenden have a separate girls lacrosse camp?
Girls’ Lacrosse is a fundamentally different game than boys’ lacrosse. Providing girls with a separate camp gives our coaches the opportunity to focus solely on the game specific instruction.
