Instructional Clinic for PE Teachers:

The Houston Chapter of US Lacrosse recently hosted their first annual clinic for Houston area PE Teachers.  The clinic was open to all teachers interested in adding lacrosse to their curriculum for physical education classes. 

The clinic covered the history of lacrosse, the growth of the game, the purpose of the Houston Chapter as well as the basic rules, equipment and terminology of the women’s and men’s game.  The teachers were then led to the field for hands-on learning of lacrosse basic skills (cradling, scooping, catching and throwing), so that they would be better prepared to teach their students. 

Each teacher in attendance was given a copy of the US Lacrosse Physical Education Curriculum and a lacrosse stick so that they can continue to practice their skills. The teachers were eager to learn about lacrosse and asked several good questions.  They are excited and ready to bring lacrosse to a wider base of youth.

In addition to the clinic, the Houston Chapter has partnered with the Houston Independent School District to continue to introduce lacrosse to elementary students and has been invited to be a presenter at the districts annual Fall Conference for Elementary PE Teachers by Dr. Jose Santiago, Manager of Elementary Health / Physical Education Curriculum.

Mark Gray of Houston Youth Lacrosse organized the event with some assistance from the Houston Chapter and Dave Vollmer, longtime coach of the Lamar High School varsity team, was a key instructor.
