Massachusetts
Lacrosse Clinic
Massachusetts is a special location for founder Mark Millon to host a camp, as he played his college ball at UMASS – Amherst. Founded in 1994 by former MLL MVP and two-time Team USA member Mark Millon, Millon Lacrosse stands for instruction, period. With over 28,000 athletes coming through our camps and clinics we have a wealth of experience and understand how to be safe, organized, and, more than anything, develop the young lacrosse athlete. The instructional lacrosse business is a challenging space and you can’t last over 25 years without doing it right. Please give us a call, we would be happy to share more details on what separates us from the rest.
This Massachusetts lacrosse clinic is registered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Departments of Health. Copies of state regulations, background checks procedures, health care, discipline policy, and grievance procedures are available upon request.
Curriculum
After over 25 years, our curriculum has been proven and refined many times. It is set for all ages and all positions. During the early part of the week, we do a large amount of individual skill building, and, as the week moves, on we play games for one reason: to reinforce what was learned during our skill sessions.
