Off-Season Lacrosse Opportunities w/ Homegrown

-A message from Coach Kyle 

As some of you may know, I work with Homegrown Lacrosse, a Twin Cities-based non-profit lacrosse organization. I have got some questions about opportunities to continue playing this summer. So, here are a few of our upcoming programs I'd recommend for those looking for some more lacrosse. Feel free to shoot me an email if you have any questions about getting involved! Hope to see some of you around this summer! - Kyle

Homegrown Summer Camps

Who: players up to 11th grade 

When: July (4 days, 3 nights)

Where: University of St. Thomas

The camp is led by Homegrown senior staff along with professional men’s and women’s players and coaches who focus on improving players' skills through 3 main on-field sessions per day, including position-specific training, scrimmages, and small-sided games. Off the field, campers can participate in various activities such as yoga, nature walks, goal setting, film study, and other fun summer camp challenges. Campers leave with a well-rounded experience that improves lacrosse skills and fosters personal growth and community involvement.

Minnesota Chill All-State Travel Teams

Who: players up to 12th grade 

When: Mid June - Mid July (weeknight practices & weekend tournaments)

Where: University of St. Thomas & various locations for tournaments

The Minnesota Chill Club Teams train throughout the months of June and July and attend 1 local tournament and 2 others around the country. This program allows players to train with other athletes from all over the state and travel together similarly to how college programs travel. The mission of this program is to prepare each player for the next level — whether prep, high school, or college — and foster character, confidence, community, and love for the game. Need-based financial aid is available as well!

Leadership Development Program - Homegrown Summer Camp

Who: rising 10th graders and older

When: July 

Where: University of St. Thomas

The Leadership Development Program (L.D.P.) provides high school and college volunteers an opportunity to coach alongside Homegrown senior staff at the Homegrown Summer Camp in July. L.D.P. counselors gain confidence in their coaching ability and develop a better understanding of lacrosse from a new perspective. This experience is excellent for highlighting on resumes and counts toward volunteer hours needed for NHS and other organizations. Skills learned as a counselor translate to a greater understanding of the game and expand to life skills off the field.
