On Monday the Supreme Lacrosse Academy hosted its third high school tuneup session for girls laxers coming from across the island which saw nearly 80 in attendance. Tailored for players in graduating classes of 2030-2026, this training series led by St. Anthony’s Girls Assistant Coaches Corey Winkoff and Christian Michaels is designed to help them prepare to play at the varsity level in the spring by being in a competitive atmosphere learning team oriented, up-tempo drills and sets. In addition to the varsity preparation and the opportunity to continue to better their skills, players are also seen by the Long Island Lacrosse Journal as well.
