Eleven Lacrosse Group Runs Boys Prep School Showcase in Boca This Past Weekend
Written by Lee Roggenburg on . Posted in Uncategorized.
As a follow-up to the successful Girls lacrosse showcase of the previous weekend Eleven Lacrosse Group, in conjunction with Prep School Lacrosse, ran the Boys’ version at the Saint Andrew’s School on the weekend of January 16th-17th.
Approximately 160 kids attended the Showcase, with about 40% of them from the state of Florida. This Showcase, like the Girls’ one, was open to the general lacrosse playing public, and helps to serve as an introduction to Prep School Lacrosse’s summer event, which is invitation-only and takes place the weekend after Memorial Day in Connecticut. That event’s participants are nominated by coaches and is highly prized to be invited to.
Matt Madalon, Assistant Coach at Princeton noted:
“I have always enjoyed working Prep Lax Showcase events. The format allows for a great group of college coaches to truly teach the game, build individual skills and to help develop a better understanding of concepts. It’s an excellent teaching atmosphere combined with top talent.”
The Boca event was also similar to the previous weekend in the coaching levels available to the participants. A similar Division 1/3 coaching staff was on hand:
