Trashcan Lacrosse summer camp season is now in full swing. Trashcan Lacrosse camps are designed for boys age 8-14 and focus jointly on skill development and ensuring that every player who attends has success and a lot of fun. The Trashcan curriculum maximizes the “touches” players get while truly improving their fundamental skills.
