The one and only JEN ADAMS!
Considered by most to be the best women's lacrosse player of all time, Jen Adams is the head women's lacrosse coach at Loyola University Maryland and led the University of Maryland to four straight national titles while she played there from 1998-2001. The Brighton, South Australia native was named the three-time national player of the year and was the first recipient of the Tewaaraton Trophy in 2001, given annually to the nation's best Collegiate Lacrosse Player. She is still the all-time NCAA leading scorer and still owns every University of Maryland scoring record, as she is the single season and career leader in goals, assists, and points. She is currently an Australian national team player who has, incredibly, played in FOUR World Cups, winning two and finishing as Silver Medalists in the other two.

We are ECSTATIC to be adding Lacrosse to the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy in New Jersey for the summer of 2013. Meet our amazing group of women leading the lacrosse training at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy (although Julie likes to pretend she can play Lacrosse, she will be sticking to the soccer demos thankfully):
Following the structure of our popular soccer schedule, Lacrosse campers will spend half the day on the field learning from some of the greatest LAX women to ever play the game, and the other half of the day will be spent doing fun, hands on, high energy leadership skills training.
OUR CORE BELIEFS
All of us at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy are big believers that sports and leadership go hand in hand. What we learn on the field as players shapes who we are as people. Our confidence, our strength, our ability to deal with adversity are all traits that we learn by playing. And we don't think you need an Olympic gold medal or World Cup Trophy to benefit from the true gift of sports. We built this unique curriculum with these concepts in mind: gather some of the best women athletes/leaders (and just all around GREAT, cool people) in the world and weave the sports and leadership components together to create a week that is life changing. And, since we don't like to brag about how awesome our week together is (but of course we will tell you if asked), you can instead read about the transformational week from our campers and their parents.

DAILY SCHEDULE:
Here is how the week will shape up. While the soccer campers are playing soccer, the lacrosse campers will be playing lacrosse and then the entire group joins together for the leadership sessions. (Please note that a camper cannot do both lacrosse and soccer during their week with us... they will be required to choose one when they register. Please also note that Lacrosse is only available at our New Jersey location.):
