Triple Arrow Camps reveal summer 2024 schedule

Triple Arrow Camps has revealed its summer 2024 schedule with six camps around the country allowing girls from 10-16 years old the opportunity to continue playing lacrosse throughout their summer holiday break.

The announcement comes after the Triple Arrow Camps Easter schedule was revealed last week with five camps taking place throughout March and April next year.

And the confirmed summer dates now take the number of Triple Arrow Camps in 2024 to 11.

Triple Arrow Camps are the perfect place to inspire a young person’s lacrosse game; whether they’re starting their lacrosse journey or wanting to practice and perfect their skills during the school holidays.

Each camp follows a curriculum designed by experienced England Lacrosse coaches with key outcomes set for each group to ensure everyone completes the week having developed their individual ability.

Each camp provides a unique experience as the coaches plan specialist daily schedules and sessions based on their experience and the ability of the group they are leading.

Triple Arrow Camps are simply a great environment for all girls to flourish both on the lacrosse pitch and off it with many previous campers saying their independence has developed and they’ve formed new friendships while attending a camp.

In summer 2024, there is a mixture of two-day and four-day camps with residential options at the Charterhouse School and Queen Anne’s School camps.

England's Sienna Parekh to deliver goal-keeping sessions at 2023 Triple Arrow Camp

England under-21 goal-keeper, Sienna Parekh, is set to deliver special goalie sessions at Charterhouse School as part of our summer 2023 Triple Arrow Camp series.

The camp, which takes place from 1-4 August, will see Sienna mentoring the next generation of goal-keeping talent just weeks after returning from what will hopefully be a successful ELF Women’s U21 Championship with England in Prague, Czechia in early July.

Delivering her goal-keeping session on all four days of the Camp (numbers dependent), Sienna will look to cover every aspect of what it takes to be a top goalie, including defending against static shooters, defending against running shots, saving low shots, footwork and positioning and much much more.

Aged just 19, Sienna has had a remarkable career so far featuring for Hawks Lacrosse Club and the University of Nottingham alongside fellow England goal-keeper, Dylan Whittington.

She became a member of the England Lacrosse Umpiring Advisory Group (UAG) at the age of 16 and, this year, she made her debut at The Fly for Swift finishing with a runners-up medal.

Sienna featured for England U21s at this year’s Home Internationals Series where she helped her team to the title, winning every game they played and she’ll make her major tournament debut for England at this summer’s ELF Women’s U21 Championship in Prague, Czechia.

First Full Triple Arrow Camps & Talent Pathway Schedule Since 2019 Goes Ahead without a Hitch!

Earlier this month, during the school Easter holidays, a full Triple Arrow Camps and Talent Pathway schedule went ahead for the first time since 2019.

Six two-day Triple Arrow Camps were able to run at venues around the country while several Talent Pathway sessions covering the regional and national pathways took place.

As per the Government and England Lacrosse advice, each session went ahead with stringent coronavirus restrictions in place, meaning equipment such as sticks and balls were sanitised regularly and attendees wore masks and remained social distanced while registering on the day.

Across the two week Easter holiday period, over 1,000 young people joined us on either our Triple Arrow Camps or our Talent Pathway sessions and, after a year away, we are so pleased that there is still such an appetite to play lacrosse!

Check out some of the images from the sessions below.

England Lacrosse COVID-Secure Summer Camps a Success!

The England Lacrosse girls’ summer camp programme for 2020 finished last week, with over 450 girls attending some 22 day camps across four weeks throughout July and August.

In mid June, we announced that we’d been working since the prevalence of the coronavirus outbreak to plan a summer camp programme which could be delivered with the Government COVID-19 restrictions. 

We decided that, with social distancing restrictions in place and in order to maintain a fun and engaging curriculum, camps would run on a 2-day programme schedule with no form of residential camp.

We gained approval to follow the Department for Education’s (DfE) guidelines that detail protective measures for out-of-school holiday camps and ensured all protocols were in place to keep our girls and coaches as safe as possible.

Upon arrival, girls were directed to our dedicated summer camps team who checked and noted everyone’s temperature.

As per the Government guidelines, the camps operated a ‘pod’ system with campers being allocated a ‘pod’ based on age, ability and friendship requests.

Campers remained in these ‘pods’ in their allocated pitch space for the two days and were overseen by their own pod-specific coach.

Time spent doing activities inside was kept to a minimum to further reduce the risk of possibly transmitting the virus.

One camp host, Charterhouse School, said they were delighted with the way the summer camps went ahead this year.

“Despite the inevitable concerns arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, we were very impressed with the comprehensive measures put in place and the professionalism displayed by the team on the ground delivering the course.  

“There were plenty of coaches on hand to welcome the players and explain to them exactly what was expected of them from a social distancing and hygiene perspective, and as ever, the overall organisation was smooth and professional”.

England Lacrosse are extremely pleased that so many girls were able to get back onto the lacrosse field after such a long time away and delighted the guidelines in place were adhered to and kept everyone safe while at the camps!
