On Saturday, March 19, the Lady Monarchs met at the ungodly hour of 9.45 for a two-day training camp. The following six hours were all about Lacrosse and preparing for the upcoming season. After warm-up Theresa introduced us to the art of body defense. Direct physical contact with the opponent and the correct positioning of one's body are vital to a good body defense.

Niki taught us the most important moves in offense and we practiced their correct execution. Soon our goalie had her hands – and her stick – full and had some very nice saves.

The Austrian Lacrosse Association (ÖLaxV) offered a training for Lacrosse Youth Coaches - Level 1 for the first time ever in 2016. Eight Monarchs did not want to miss this opportunity and spent the two weekends of January 16/17 and March 12/13 together with other participants and instructor Richi Hauer in the name of lacrosse and intercrosse. After very interesting theory and practice units the participants had to pass a theoretical as well as practical exam. All Monarchs passed these exams successfully and may now call themselves Youth Coaches - Level 1 for lacrosse and intercrosse.
