LACROSSE AT WILLIAM SMITH COLLEGE
June 27 - June 30, 2010

CAMP PROGRAM
The William Smith Lacrosse Camp focuses primarily on a quality of learning experience with maximum individual attention and interaction with the coaching staff. There is a strong emphasis on team development and the understanding of the magnitude of strong team dynamics. Players are encouraged to analyze their leadership skills, work ethic, attitude, body language and daily commitment to the team. The aim is to train with a purpose, while playing harder for each other.

Campers will be involved in age/talent appropriate daily sessions. TEAM GROUPS WHO ATTEND WILL BE PLACED TOGETHER FOR MAXIMAL TEAM DEVELOPMENT.

CAMP DIRECTOR: Pat Genovese
The camp is directed by William Smith Head Coach Pat Genovese. Genovese is the only lacrosse coach William Smith has ever known. She has established the Herons as one of the top programs in the nation. A highly decorated coach, she was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in 2009. Genovese has been named the Division III Coach of the Year three times, Regional Coach of the Year three times, and N.Y. State Coach of the Year twice. In 2008, Genovese was the first collegiate lacrosse coach, man or woman, to record 350 career wins. A former U.S. Squad coach and three-time coach of the Division III North/South All Star Game, Genovese is a member of the William Smith Athletics Hall of Honor, the Cortland State "C" Club Hall of Fame, the Green Mountain Athletic Hall of Fame and the U.S. Lacrosse Rochester/Western N.Y. Chapter Hall of Fame.

Genovese's involvement with women's lacrosse is extensive. She has directed the William Smith Lacrosse Camps for more than 16 summers and has organized numerous clinics for high school players and coaches. Genovese has been instrumental in assisting new programs implementing girls' lacrosse at the secondary level. In 1998 and 2007, she received the NYSWCAA Service Award for her contributions to women's athletics.
