[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the winter skills clinic offered by VLC worth it for a high school player?  [/quote]

Meh.  Many of the participants are middle schoolers or wanna be VLCers who got cut during tryouts or current VLCers who are border
line cuts and hence need the skills help and want to show VLC they will pay the kitty when needed.  So mixed bag.  My memory also is that half the sessions were snowed out and the other half my kid freezed his nuts off.  I luv VLC, but the better bang is at Next Level, which is indoors.[/quote]

There were no sessions last winter that were cancelled - the first session snow was stamped out by the MS players,  yes the temps can be as low as low twenties and that's for the earlier, SEPARATE MS session - the HS sessions were much WARMER... but you could say the kids attending show commitment by just showing up. Regarding the MS sessions,  lots of drills w/ stick work, laxIQ, positional instruction - I highly recommend it especially for attack and middies - w/ high standards for what should be done and the VLC coaches had no probs calling out their own players for lapses (stick not in outside hand, incorrect positioning, not moving ball quickly etc). I did see HS tryouts last summer and despite the VLC coaches actually taking time to teach rather than letting kids fail unknowingly - there were kids who clearly needed laxIQ despite their size, athletic gifts - VLC has a strong focus on this. Mileage will vary - my MS kid became a more confident and competent lacrosse player in just the first few sessions.

Have not heard about Next Level but their teams appear to be very well coached.[/quote]
