Competitive development camp

Additional Information

"The Gloucester Griffins JR B Lacrosse Club, under the auspices of the Gloucester Lacrosse Association (GLA), will again offer a Junior Griffins' development & spring training camp' for midget and junior age players that will have the opportunity to play with the Griffins JR B Club as full-time junior players or affiliated player call-ups in 2021. The Griffins' coaching staff will be monitoring player skill sets with a view to the make-up of the Griffins JR B team in 2020, so the expectation is, if you plan to play for the Griffins in 2021 and are currently 'in town', you need to be there!
These camps are being offered in a 'true' box lacrosse venue (indoor box/rink) which will aid in teaching box lacrosse skills, No we are not going to be in Rockland this year but will be operating the camps out of the Ray Kinsella Arena at the RA Centre on Riverside Drive!
