Winslow Winter Clinic '06

It's official, we are underway! Confirmation has been made with all the coaches that will be present, they include, Marc Van Arsdale, Guy Van Arsdale, Max Van Arsdale, Owen Van Arsdale,Todd Cavallaro and others. This endeavor will be different from most because the participants will be taught DIRECTLY by these coaches. The clinic will be held at the Tempe Sports Complex with plenty of room for group and individual instruction and games. This is a "must attend function" for all young goalies as they will be instructed, individually by Guy Van Arsdale, goalie and defense coach for the Penn State. Offense will be handled by Marc of the Virginia Cavaliers and Todd of the PENN (IVY) Quakers. Max and Owen will co-instruct for additional one- on-one coaching. I had the opportunity to watch Owen, Marc and Max teach at Coach Starsia's camp in Va this summer, this is world class instruction. The dates will be December 28, 29 , this is a Thursday, Friday combination designed to not interfere with holiday weekend plans. We will cap the enrollement to first 100 players in the 4th, 5th, 6th grades and JRHS. Because of the NCAA recruiting rules and our dates for this clinic, high school players are inelligible for this clinic. We will encourage all coaches of players enrolled in this clinic to interact and participate with the Van Arsdales and Coach Cav, this will be a coaches' clinic as well. Q&A at lunch time will offer insight to the training and teaching philosophies of coaches from three of the best collegiate programs on the east coast. The Arizona Sting will be represented by Scott Schiff, in addition to other guest speakers. Clinic pinnies will be provided with other gifts. Lax Locker, our co-sponsor, will have camp specific discount coupons for all participants, a club sponsored camp store will also be available. For more information or to be included on our clinic mailing list, please contact Coach Gordon Beyer at jawswithpaws@yahoo.com.

Winter Camp in Phoenix

In the works is a rather big step for a small club. Not nearly all the details are hammered out, however, we are looking, very seriously, at hosting a camp in the Phoenix area this Winter Break. Among the guests will be, Marc Van Arsdale, offensive co-ordinator for 2006 NCAA Div I Virginia Cavaliers and himself an All-American attackman at Hobart. Guy Van Arsdale, defensive co-ordinator for Penn State University and All- Ammerican Goalie for Hobart. Max Van Arsdale, rising Junior attackman for PSU and cousin Owen Van Arsdale of St. Annes' in Charlottesville, Va, a youth lacrosse specialist. Additional coaches will be added as they sign on with us, check this website to stay current. Entry Fees will be $150.00 for three training sessions over two days with age appropriate games to commence after lunch on day two. There will be give-aways, raffles and other prizes. We hope to hold enrollment to only 100 players to maximize player to coach ratios. Prerequisites will include: all the equipment neccesary to play lacrosse supplied by the participant AND proof of CURRENT US Lacrosse memebership. A USL booth may or may not be available, that is yet to be determined.Contact Coach Gordon Beyer at 928 289 0211 for more details. Further information will arrive in the form of website publications and flyers.

Grave's Mountain Lacrosse Camp

I had the fantastic opportunity to escort two of Winslow's players to the Graves' Mountain Lacrosse Camp in Syria, Virginia. Kurt did well with only 13 months of lacrosse under his belt and T-Muny found his new home, The Cage! Many thanks to "Team Van Arsdale"; Marc, Owen, Max and Papa Van, an experience I will draw from for years to come.

In the beginning....

April 2005, Kurt asked me what ' the funny poles' on the wall in the den were. June 2005, at the conclusion of our first camp at Northern Arizona University, Todd Cavallero told Rick Lindsay and I to ' just start, somewhere, anywhere, just start'. Fast forward to June 2006, with much influence from Todd Cavallero, Albin Haglund, Rich McAbee and support from assistant coaches Mitty Smith and Mike Rivera,Sr. and coach / academic advisor Pam Van Arsdale, we are on our way to another succesful youth program in Winslow, Arizona.
