2015 Summer Camp Update

After many months of trying to work out a summer camp date, we are disappointed that for the 2015 summer we will not be holding our camp! Each years the staff puts together the best possible camp experience and this year we could not do one up to our standards. We will be back on schedule in 2016 and will hold our 6th summer camp!

Our plan is to take our annual Pre-Season Tune-up clinic held in February and offer a day 2 session. Day 1 will be similar to our standard indoor clinic where we focus on the fundamentals so you are best prepared going into the spring school season. We will follow-up on day 2 with an advanced goalie session building on what was taught the first day.    Day 2 is optional for those looking for our standard clinic. Estimated cost will be $100 for day 1 (4 hours), and $75 for the additional session (4 hours).

Pre-Season Tune-up Clinic is set! UPDATED TIME

We are excited to announce that our 5th annual Rising Stars Pre-season tune-up clinic will be held February 28th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm (new time)! We have moved the venue to a newly turfed facility at Lakevue Athletic Club in Valencia PA.

The staff is excited about the tune-up clinic. We spend much of the time working on fundamentals which are the key to success! However the staff always looks to improve our clinic and camp experience and will teach new goalie and eye hand coordination drills to the keepers.

Congratulations Abby Miller

Seneca Valley Senior goalie recently committed to play at Mercyhurst University next year! Her hard work paid off as she garnered interested from many college programs. Good luck your Senior season, you have come a long way since your Middle School days learning the position!

Abby increases our collegiate total to 12 with more to come soon!

2014 Updates - Rising Stars making noise across the US!

Your hard work is paying off!

Rising Stars Goalie Camp - Summer 2014 Concluded!

The 2014 summer goalie camp was filled with 22 Rising Stars goalies! This was one of the best group of kids we have had to date! The change from 3 days to 2 days (1 hour longer each day) seemed to kept everyone more attentive and fresh for the drills and fun activities for the entire camp! The goalies enjoyed the water balloon breaking drill focusing on solid passing fundamentals, each goalie who hit a balloon was awarded the opportunity to break a water balloon over the coach of their choice's head! And as always, the goalie games were a big hit. 

The Rising Stars Staff would like to thank all the goalies and especially the parents for attending the camp and making it a fun and successful camp!

Congrats to Rising Stars' Staff Member Corey Struss!

Picture
VIENNA, WV (July 12, 2012) – Corey Struss has been tapped as the new head coach for Fighting Scots men’s lacrosse, announced OVU Athletic Director Dennis Cox.

Struss replaces Carl Anderson who accepted a management position in Alliance, Ohio. Struss came to OVU last fall to pursue a graduate degree in curriculum and development. He joined the OVU lacrosse team as a graduate assistant and has worked with the team’s defensive unit and recruiting. The success of his efforts in recruiting will be evident this fall as the Fighting Scots expect to welcome to campus a lacrosse squad of over 30 athletes.

Struss completed his undergraduate degree at Seton Hill University (Greensburg, Penn.) where he also played lacrosse for the Griffins.

“I could not be more excited about this opportunity,” Struss shared. “I recruited a lot of these students. Serving as their head coach will be an honor.”

“Corey will make a great head coach as OVU lacrosse moves forward,” outgoing Coach Anderson observed. “My feelings on leaving at this point are bittersweet; but I know I am leaving the program in very capable hands.”

The Fighting Scots lacrosse team will open its spring 2013 season as a member of the East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) Lacrosse Division.

Ohio Valley University is a proud member of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and competes in the NCAA Division II in men's baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer and wrestling, as well as women's basketball, golf, cross country, softball, soccer and volleyball.
