Boys and Girls Field Lacrosse Clinics Featuring Josh Byrne and Dhane Smith Set for June 28

This summer, the Buffalo Bandits are bringing two of the best offensive players in professional lacrosse to Nichols High School for a full day of field lacrosse instruction on Sunday, June 28. Players will have the opportunity to learn directly from Bandits stars while improving their offensive skills in a fun, competitive, and fast-paced environment.

The boys clinic will be led by Josh Byrne and is open to boys players in grades 2-12. Sessions will take place on Peek Field at Nichols High School with grade-specific time slots running throughout the morning and early afternoon. Byrne and special guest Bandits teammates will focus on offensive development, including dodging, shooting mechanics, creating separation, and improving overall lacrosse IQ. Boys players are required to bring a helmet, stick, gloves, and athletic sneakers or cleats. Elbow pads and chest protectors are recommended but not required.

Sessions will be held on Truscott Field at Nichols High School and will focus on many of the same offensive concepts, helping players become more confident and creative playmakers on the field. Girls players are required to bring eye protection, a stick, and athletic sneakers or cleats.
