Feel like kick-starting your season with a clinic specially designed to raise your goalie game?  Scorpion alumni and past board member, Adam Lechner, has offered to conduct two goalie clinics for Scorpion goalies in February as a way to launch into the season with solid goalie fundamentals.  In these 90 minute clinics, you'll review the goalie position from A to Z including the following:

1. Basic Warm Up
2. Body Position and Stick Position
3. Movement to the Ball
4. Passing and Stick Skills
5. Playing the man at “x” and turns.
6. Pipe play and angles.
7. After the shot- ball control and clears.
8. Controlling the shooter
9. Mental Play (warm up, visualization, mental state)

Two clinics are now open for registration on February 7th and February 15th from 6:00 - 7:30pm.  Registration is extremely limited to ensure a very low player-to-coach ratio.   Click on "Register Online" above to secure your spot.

Attention Sideline Managers!

The sideline manager is a very critical role within the Scorpion club.  As a sideline manager, you are the cultural keeper of the team and assure that spectators are seated only along the side line opposite the side reserved for players and coaches and never behind the end lines.  Sideline managers employ techniques and process for maintaining decorum during the game and, when necessary, handing out purple cards for poor spectator behavior at boys and girls games.

As part of this role, you must be Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) certified.  If you have completed PCA training within the past three years for the Scorpion program or another organization, that'll work as well.  For those of you who haven't,  Scorpion Lacrosse will be conducting onsite PCA certification this year at Green Valley Elementary school.  Details below:

What: PCA Certification Workshop
When: Monday, January 23rd, 6:30 - 9:00pm
Where: Green Valley Elementary School MPR
