Picture Connecticut: UConn Lacrosse Giving Back

VERNON, CT — Last weekend, more than 100 girls youth lacrosse players from the Connecticut Valley Youth Lacrosse network converged on Rockville High School for a skills clinic hosted by the University of Connecticut and the Vernon Lacrosse Association.

It was the second year of the event.

The entire UConn women's team and head coach Katie Woods came out for the clinic. The Huskies were a Big East finalist and an NCAA tournament team last spring.

UConn players worked with both groups and individual players from kindergarten through Grade 8 on personal skills, team skills and lacrosse concepts.
