Lacrosse at Pemi

acrosse is relatively new at Pemi, and is one of the fastest-growing and most popular sports. The level of instruction and coaching has kept pace with this popularity, and in recent years more Pemi players have gone on to success on secondary and college teams in lacrosse than in any other sport. Fewer boys come to camp with a background in the sport, and Pemi is an ideal place for a beginner to learn the fundamental skills in the instructional program. At the same time, intermediate and advanced players have the opportunity to hone their skills with individualized instruction and intercamp playing opportunities.

The most influential coach in the last decade has been Lou Young, a Dartmouth graduate and one of the most respected coaches in Northern New England. Currently Head Coach at Woodstock, Vermont, High School, Lou has won numerous state championships and coaching accolades. His time at Pemi set the standard which has been continued by a number of player/coaches, including

• Kevin O'Brien (Captain at Pennsylvania, Assistant Coach at Andover),
• Leif Dormsjo (Wesleyan, current Coach at St. Paul's in Baltimore),
• Matt Bagley and Conor O'Brien (Ohio Wesleyan).
