Titans Sports

Program Overview:
Legacy 716 is a sports clinic and leadership training academy from Tonawanda, NY. We are excited to announce that we are sponsoring a new 8U summer lacrosse program beginning in 2025. This program is open to boys & girls ages 8 and under. We will play boys lacrosse rules and full equipment is required. No prior playing experience is necessary and all skill levels are welcome to participate. We will focus on skill development with a hybrid teaching progression involving indoor & outdoor lacrosse tactics and fundamentals. Guest clinicians will include current collegiate and professional lacrosse players.
We know that the sport of lacrosse is new to several of our families. In addition to the hands on skill development provided to the players, we will also be providing basic skill and game rule tutorials to all family members in attendance. This will help assist with your child’s lacrosse skill development on non practice days as well as help spectators understand the basic rules and strategies on game days.
