Spring 2025 Training

Coach K’s Westport Preseason - Boys

Back for the sixth year is the Westport Youth Lacrosse Preseason! This year’s program will once again be presented by Coach K Lacrosse. We have sessions for all lacrosse players from Kindergarten through 8th grade. These sessions will take place during the weeks leading up to the Westport PAL tryouts. All sessions will be designed and run by Coach Koshansky, Coach Anderson, Coach Jacowleff, Coach Griffin, and the rest of the Staples High School coaching staff.

The idea in holding these sessions is to give all of our boys an opportunity to prepare themselves for the spring season. These clinics will be designed to improve and fine tune our players skills and to get them back out on the field competing before the team practices begin. All players in our program are invited to attend. It will be an awesome opportunity to prepare for the upcoming season and build camaraderie between classmates.

The design of the practices will include individual and team concept development, small sided game and drill play, as well as full field competitions and scrimmages. Each session will have a focus as determined by the Staples HS coaches. This is the best way to prepare for the upcoming tryouts and spring season.

During sessions, players will be grouped together to maximize everyone’s development and to make the environment as fun as can be. We have kept the cost extremely low to encourage as many players to sign up as possible.

Preseason will take place at Bedford Middle School on the Wakeman B Turf Field. Each grade has been scheduled for four sessions with the goal getting at least three sessions in. We have also reserved Friday of each week as an added makeup day if needed.  If we are able to hold all four sessions there will not be an extra charge. If one day is canceled we will not have a makeup day. If two days are canceled we will use Friday to make up for one of the missed days.

Young players will be pushed to develop the basics of the game, while receiving exposure to more advanced concepts and skills from Staples HS Coaches and players. 

This session will be great for younger players regardless of ability, since so much of the focus will be on identifying and improving the fundamental skills that all players need. As always there will be prizes and competitions throughout the week.

Win the Day Compete Clinic - 5th - 8th Grade

This clinic is all about competition - every skill, every drill, every game - score will be kept! The increased level of competition will lead to an increased level of focus from our players and coaches.

Each day starts with a 45 minute film & whiteboard session with Staples HS and/or College Coaches. The session will be used to review the practice plan for the day, introduce the teaching points of each drill, and will include a segment on offensive and defensive technique. Players should bring a lacrosse notebook for this portion of the clinic.

Throughout the week, drills will be filmed and then used for review on later days in the week. We are placing an emphasis on competition and development.

Following the film & whiteboard session, the clinic will head to the field to see who will Win The Day! Players will be grouped by age and ability and will compete in a variety of drills and games to increase our compete factor.

Due to the design of the clinic, the overall number of players and age groups will be limited.

College coaches and players will be in attendance to coach the sessions, as well as Staples HS Coaches. This is an awesome way for rising 9th graders to prepare for HS Lacrosse.

Win the Day Compete Clinic is open to 25 players ONLY in each of the following groups:

For the current school year of 2023-2024:

7th and 8th - 25 players

5th and 6th - 25 players

Multi Sport Mania: Summer - Kindergarten through 8th Grade

Our best ever clinic makes its first appearance in the summer! Join the State Champion Staples HS Football & Lacrosse Coaches for a four day combo sport clinic. Athletes will have the option to participate in Football + Lacrosse, Football ONLY, or Lacrosse ONLY.

The session will run from 8:30 - 11am, divided into two 75 minute segments.

Players have the option to participate in both sports, for 75 minutes each. Or they can double up on their preferred sport and participate in back to back Football or Lacrosse sessions. Each player can pick the clinic that works best for him!

The football clinics will be non-contact, so no equipment is needed. Staples HS coaches will run players through drills that develop football technique at a variety of positions. Scrimmages and flag football opportunities will wrap up each session. 

The lacrosse clinic will include full contact drills and games, so players should bring full equipment. Required equipment includes helmet, gloves, elbow pads, shoulder pads, and stick. Staples HS coaches will run players through skill building drills that lead to competitions and gameplay. There will be scrimmages during the clinics.

Multisport Mania is open to boys entering Kindergarten through 8th grade for the 2024-2025 school year. The design of the program will allow for players of varying skill levels to participate. No prior experience in either sport is required to attend. 

Multi Sport Mania in the winter has been our best every clinic and we are excited to add it to our summer lineup!

History

In 2022, Coach K Lacrosse created two amazing new opportunities; Lacrosse Training in Shelton and Football & Lacrosse combo clinics in Westport, featuring Staples Football Head Coach Adam Behrends. These two new programs continued to grow the Coach K Lacrosse program to inspire as many youth athletes as possible. In Shelton, we coordinated with the HS and Youth Lacrosse - both boys & girls - programs to help players prepare for the 2022 Spring season. Both groups had a blast and we are excited to return to Shelton in the spring of 2023. In Westport, the combo MultiSport Mania clinic was a huge hit, which featured Lacrosse, Football, Speed/Agility, and Weightroom training for our youth athletes.

The Winter of 2020 & 2021 marked a new step forward for Coach K Lacrosse with two big developments. First, we expanded into girls lacrosse offerings including summer clinics. This will allow both boys and girls to access the great coaching our programming is known for. Nicole Gerosa was added at our Girls Lacrosse Director. Second, we opened the Annex, an indoor training facility dedicated to lacrosse and training young athletes. Youth players of all ages attended sessions focus on improving their lacrosse skills and overall fitness. Two 3v3 Speed Lacrosse Leagues were held at the annex with Championship Winners being crowned in late February. The Annex proved to be the perfect place for our players to prepare for the return of town lacrosse in the Spring of 2021. Following the full reopening of youth sports, we closed down the Annex but it will remain a great period in the growth of Coach K Lacrosse.

The summer of 2019 marked the first official training sessions for Coach K Lacrosse, focused primarily on youth lacrosse development. We will continue to expand our offering as the energy and excitement around our training grows. Be a part of the future of lacrosse training in our area!

Coach K Lacrosse was founded in 2018 to offer training opportunities to players of all ages. The organization was created to allow players the ability to experience high level instruction at a fraction of the typical camp or clinic cost. Coach K is a member of the local community having lived in towns throughout Fairfield County and his mission is to share his passion for the sport with the youth of the area.

 All participants of Coach K Clinics are required to have current US Lacrosse memberships with a US Lacrosse number.
