All of the staff members graduated from Ward Melville High on Long Island. The program is long known for its team’s success and the success of its players beyond the high school level.
Liam Banks, also a major marketing rep for Warrior and Brine apparel, said the clinic celebrates the many special aspects of the lacrosse program at Ward Melville and focuses on the key elements of the game.
Banks said the instruction is specially designed for players of all levels.
“The best part about the clinic is that it’s given right before the season on these gorgeous fields. It’s a non-contact clinic and we can teach the same move 15 different ways. The guys are able to separate groups from beginners to players of high skills.
“We bring in defensive experts, and those for attack, midfield, goalie and all different positions. We use many drills.”
Other Staff: Former college standouts Mark Duncan (now head coach at Shipley); Tim Goldstein (Cornell attackman); Dennis Goldstein (UNC attackman); John Banks (Johns Hopkins goalie); Kevin Banks (Hobart goalie); Chip Mayer (UNC midfielder); Paul Duncan (Penn midfielder & captain); John Fox (UNC); Matt Grosso (Brown).
