Evolution Lacrosse Academy Offers One-Week Summer Camps

Safe, fun, competitive and age-appropriate instruction in lacrosse will take place this July.

Evolution Lacrosse Academy, a premier lacrosse-training program in Northern New Jersey, is offering two one-week camps in Essex County this summer.

The camps will be led by Evolution Lacrosse Founder Matt Podwoski, an experienced educator and coach with more than 20 years of experience, and his trained staff of lacrosse player/coaches.

Lacrosse camps for boys and girls ages 5-14 will be held in Verona at Centennial Field on July 8-12 and also at Watsessing Park in Bloomfield on July 15-19.

Children will benefit from an age and skill appropriate curriculum and an excellent coach-to-player ratio of 1:5.

“My goal is for kids to be active, have fun, and play with their friends, while learning to love this dynamic game,” said Podwoski, a resident of Montclair.

The camp provides safe, fun, competitive and age-appropriate instruction for boys and girls ages 5-14. Instruction will focus on basic to advanced lacrosse skills through individual, group and positional work. This exciting camp is the perfect environment for players of all ages and skill levels to play, have fun, and evolve their games.

Mini-Laxers is a starter camp for boys and girls ages 5-6. This camp runs from 9-11 am and focuses on basic lacrosse skills through fun games and group activities that familiarize campers with stick skills like scooping and running with the ball. Players will gain an understanding for the rules of lacrosse, and will have the chance to explore throwing, catching and shooting on goal. As this is an introductory skill-building session, players will play modified scrimmages.

This exciting mini-camp is the perfect environment for our youngest players to explore one of the fastest growing sports in America. Bring your own lacrosse sticks; no additional equipment is necessary; we will play with tennis balls and soft lacrosse balls.
