After a great First Annual Forward Lacrosse Coaching Convention, it’s time for round two! We are back this year to help spread lacrosse knowledge from some of the best coaches and program directors in the area.
This year, we are excited to announce that we will be adding presenters from the girl’s side of the game. Our headliners include Tom Truschell, Arrowhead High School’s 7-time Wisconsin State Champion, and other highly successful girls’ coaches in the area. Back by popular demand, Cole Blazer, current professional Goalie for the Chesapeake Bayhawks and former 3-year starter at Marquette University, will be also be headlining to address fundamental goalie work that can be used for both girls and boys at all age levels.
We have also added a Program Deal, with hope that entire programs will see the benefit of the knowledge that will be presented and grow as one team. For the cost of 8 tickets, program directors and coaches from the girls and boys of your program can attend. We hope that every program will take advantage of this opportunity to improve every aspect of their program from youth to high school and girls to boys.
With our mission to grow the game in Wisconsin, we feel responsible to collect, create, and share the highest level of resources that this state has to offer. Our mission is one that is much larger than our company and falls on the shoulders of everyone in the Wisconsin Lacrosse Community. Join us in helping improve Wisconsin Lacrosse for generations to come.
