It's In The Books: Our First Cleveland Girls All-Star Lacrosse Clinic

Our first-ever Girls Cleveland All-Star Lacrosse Clinic was a tremendous success! The talent and dedication displayed by every player were truly remarkable, and the energy on the field was a true celebration of teamwork, skill, and passion for the game. We are immensely proud of what everyone learned and accomplished. A special thanks to our wonderful coaches, Nicole Fantozzi & Peyton Gellin, for making this vision a reality.

We look forward to continuing to make a positive impact in the communities that participated, and we are excited about the opportunity to expand our reach to new communities in the future.

What We Accomplished:

Over three days of intense training and competition, our athletes mastered key skills and elevated their game. The clinic curriculum was designed to build on itself, ensuring every player walked away with new confidence and game-ready skills.

  • Mastered the Fundamentals: We began by solidifying core skills, including footwork, agility, and fundamental stick work, ensuring a strong foundation for every athlete.
  • Elevated Game-Day Skills: Players refined advanced offensive techniques, including finishing, shooting, and high-pressure, game-like scenarios.
  • Competed for Excellence: We transitioned from drills to competitive play, focusing on ground balls, defensive strategies, and challenges that brought out the very best in every athlete.
  • Dedicated Goalie Training: Our goalies received specialized, hands-on training from Coach Nicole throughout the clinic, honing their unique skills for in-game success.

What the Players and Parents Said:

“We knew [our daughter] was in for a treat with Peyton and Nicole’s coaching, but the whole clinic was well done. From the swag bag, to the communication and organization, and the awards at the end, the clinic was better run than most we’ve seen from LAX club teams. She looks forward to returning!”

“Great job!!! My daughter really enjoyed the camp!”

“No suggestions of changing or improving. The clinic offered different drills than [my daughter] had seen. She enjoyed doing drills that she wasn’t getting from her school team or on her club team such as keeping the ball in bounds. She also liked the drills she could do on her own, and get in reps such as dodging. Any drills that you can take home are most valuable!”

“Nothing [to add], other than possibly adding another location?”

“The only suggestion I would have would be to host at blossom hill in Brecksville! 😁 “

“[She] had the best time and learned so much!”
