Lacrosse clinic

Girls Lacrosse of San Jose will hold an introductory clinic on Nov. 16 at the Kirk Community Center, 1601 Foxworthy Ave. The clinic will run from 1­3 p.m. for middle school girls and 3­4:30 p.m. for high school girls.

Lacrosse, a non-contact sport played with webbed sticks, is relatively new in this area. Leland is one of the few area schools to field a girls team, and the San Jose Extreme is a team that was formed for girls in grades five through eight. Former Leland coach Michelle Reiss and Extreme coach Jessica Paige will lead the Saturday clinic.

The cost is $10 and equipment will be provided. For more information, visit www.sjextreme.org or email John Fensterwald at john@sjextreme.org.
