A Truly Great Labor Day Lacrosse Video
It’s the end of Summer. Time for barbecues, that last dip in the pool or trip to the beach, and family reunions. When members of the Seiler clan come together, all of the above may go down, but what’s REALLY happening is a great game of family lacrosse!

I was over in New Jersey the other week checking out an American Indoor Lacrosse Association clinic in Ridgewood, and I was lucky enough to stumble upon Drew Adams’ first moments as a box lacrosse goalie.

Two-Handed Canadians? Oh No!
I’m not saying that Canadian players are always one-handed players, but more often than not they have a true strong hand, and a weaker hand.

Box Lacrosse Player With HUGE Field Upside

Last week I took in a clinic in Ridgewood, NJ put on by the American Indoor Lacrosse Association.
