Valley Thunder Winter Development Program

Valley Thunder Lacrosse Hosts Winter Development Program
 
Valley Thunder Lacrosse, based out of Kingston and Berwick rinks, offers a box lacrosse program for youth ages five to 18 from April through the end of June. Facilitated by trained coaches and a volunteer organization, the club is a member of Lacrosse Nova Scotia.
The club will host a winter development program at Pine Ridge Middle School in two sessions, the first Fridays between November 15 through December 13 (five weeks), and the second January 10 through February 28 (eight weeks). Valley Thunder athletes and any newcomers to the sport are welcome: sessions will focus on stick handling, passing and in-game drills. Valley Thunder Peewee coach Lisa Holloway will be the head coach, with several of Valley Thunder’s older athletes acting as assistant coaches.
Sessions will run 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. for youth ages seven to 10 (younger athletes may attend with lacrosse experience), and 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. for athletes ages 11 and older. The program fee is $20 for the pre-Christmas session and $40 for the January/ February session, payable by cash or cheque to Valley Thunder Lacrosse; or a $5 per session drop-in fee (participants may drop in or join the program at any time). There will be no refunds and there are no scheduled dates for cancellations. All participants must complete a program registration form and a Lacrosse Nova Scotia waiver (available at VTLacrosse.ca, in the Valley Thunder Lacrosse Facebook group or at the gym). Participants should have a hockey helmet with cage, hockey gloves (optional), sneakers and a water bottle. If you don’t have a lacrosse stick, the club has loaner gear.
