Sandpoint Lacrosse Club offers two free clinics this Saturday

SANDPOINT — The Sandpoint Lacrosse Club is offering two free clinics this Saturday for area youth who would like to check out the exciting game of lacrosse.

The lacrosse clinics will take place at the Bonner County Fairgrounds Main Exhibit Hall and are open to all area youth who would like to pick up a stick and try their hand at a new sport. The clinics are separated by gender as the boys’ and girls’ teams use different equipment and play under different rules.

The girls clinic takes place from noon-2 p.m. and the boys clinic runs from 3-5 p.m.

All players will be outfitted with the gear they need to participate. Players should wear gym shoes and comfortable clothing. Experienced coaches will be on hand to instruct players on how to play lacrosse and to run fun drills and games.

Lacrosse is the fastest growing team sport in the U.S. and here in Sandpoint the number of players continues to increase each year. The clinics are in preparation for the club’s spring season which is about to begin.

Player registration for the season is currently open. The club currently offers boys and girls teams for third to eighth graders as well as high school girls and boys teams. To register go to www.sandpointlacrosse.org.

The Sandpoint Lacrosse Club is a local non-profit organization that has never turned away a player due to lack of gear or ability to pay and has a robust financial aid program to support all players.
