2008 PCX Warrior at Providence Day
Featuring: Matt Striebel (MVP of the 2007 MLL World Championships)

PCX PDS will once again feature an outstanding camp Director, Matt Striebel. Matt, who is returning for his third year as Director, brings tremendous work ethic and experience from the lacrosse world. On the field, Matt continues to solidify his place in lacrosse history by recently winning his third Professional MLL Championship and earning Championship MVP honors in 2007. Off the field, his experiences as a 2x National Champion at Princeton, 3x World Champion in the MLL, World Champion on Team USA, and on the sideline as a coach at Princeton make him one of the best camp directors around.

Matt and his hand-picked staff will be showing campers how he learned to excel at every level through individual skill sessions, small group drills, staff demos, and live scrimmaging (and as with all PCX camps there will be plenty of free stuff to go around). This camp is limited in enrollment, so if you are interested, please check out www.playersclubexperience.com

We will teach dodging, defending, positional play, as well as, fundamental tactics of the full field game. Boys will need to have their own lacrosse equipment; stick, helmet, arm pads, shoulder pads, gloves, mouthpiece and a protective cup.

Coach Sipperly will continue to teach the fundamental skills of the game while striving to increase the lacrosse 'game sense' for each boy. Attacking concepts, offensive formations, riding and clearing, and defending (both individually and as a team) will be taught. This camp will focus on the competitive game of lacrosse; the level of competition and the game situational play will increase.
