Beginner Intro Program – Eclipse Lacrosse
Eclipse 2032 / 2033 Intro Program
Today we are announcing our 2032 / 2033 Intro Development Program Information for this Summer 2023.
Due to the expected demand – We are providing the details today and opening our registration Tomorrow, Wednesday, June 7th, at 1:00pm
This year’s 2032 / 2033 program will have a Max Number of 100 total players per week (see more information below).
Our primary goal of the 2032 / 2033 intro program is to get current 2nd & 3rd graders to love the sport and develop as many players as possible.
Secondly, during the Summer, our Eclipse Coaching Staff is one of the best groups of coaches in the country who all truly enjoy coaching lacrosse.
Most important – We believe the best way for families to learn about our program is to be in it. Over the last four years, the feedback we have received about our intro development program from players and parents has been incredible.
Over the last four Summers (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022), our intro program enables rising 3rd and 4th graders to attend Training Clinics and House League Games. This is similar to the very successful combined 3rd / 4th grade House leagues in New Canaan, Darien, and Westport.
Specific details about the 2032 / 2033 Summer program (Summer 2023)
Our max amount of rising 3rd / 4th graders (current 2nd and 3rd graders) this summer will be 100 players per week (2 weeks of programming is being offered). We do our best to “over-staff” our clinics and house league games events to provide a greater Coach to player Ratio.
Guest Coaches
In addition to our Eclipse Coaches, each year we also hire guest coaches who come in for a day or two and move around from practice-to-practice spending time with the group. In past years our guest coaches included Professional Lacrosse Players, College Coaches, High School Coaches, and College All-Americans. In addition, we have had over 90 Eclipse Alums come back and help assist our teams. Last summer (2022), we had multiple local college coaches work with our 2nd & 3rd grade group. We will continue to bring in the best players and coaches in the world to work with our boys as guest coaches.
Outline of Summer Development Format
– 4 Days per week (8 Total)
– 3 Clinics per week (6 Total) – These clinics will be run by Eclipse Directors, Eclipse Coaches, Guest Coaches, and a number of current/former college players we hire every summer (many are Eclipse Alumni)
– 2 House League Game Events – These games will be 7 v 7 (90 minutes of games)
– All clinics / game events will be 1.5 hours long
– Exact Dates are at the bottom of this email.
– We will be having contests every day for prizes
– Every player will receive one Eclipse Pinnie, Eclipse T-Shirt, and an Orange Ball for autographs
Lead Director
Chip Buzzeo, Eclipse Director and Head Boys Lacrosse Coach at New Canaan High School will be the main Eclipse Director working with the 2032 and 2033 group this Summer. Other Eclipse Directors and Coaches will assist Coach Buzzeo this summer.

My Life Next Door read online by Huntley Fitzpatrick (Page 7)
– Jack, you’re back early!
– Not a single customer has entered the store for three hours. Mr. Garrett brushes the curl away from Mrs. Garrett’s face and tucks it behind her ear. “So I decided to train Jace longer. I picked up Harry from the playroom and came home.
– I’ll turn on the stopwatch! I’ll turn on the stopwatch! Harry screams.
— My turn! Dad, now it’s my turn! George grimaces tearfully.
“You don’t even know the numbers,” Harry reminds him. “No matter how Jace runs, you always say, “Tenteen seconds.” Now it’s my turn!
“I brought a second stopwatch from the store,” says Mr. Garrett. Jason, are you ready?
“Samantha is visiting him…” Mrs. Garrett starts, but I interrupt:
“I’m already leaving.
Mr. Garrett turns to me:
— Hi, Samantha! He shakes my hand with his hand, looks at me intently and smiles. “So you’re our mysterious neighbor?”
I glance at Jace. His face is impenetrable.
— Yes, I live next door. There is nothing mysterious about us.
– Well, it won’t hurt to get to know each other better. I didn’t know Jace had…
– Dad, I’m seeing Samantha off and then I’m ready to swing… We’re starting with strength today, right?
When we get to the door, Mrs. Garrett invites me to pop in anytime.
“I’m glad you stopped by,” Jace says when we get to the end of the driveway. Sorry again for George.
— I liked him. What are you training for?
– Well, by the beginning of the football season. This year I am a left back. Will I get a scholarship? It will be very handy.
I am standing in the heat, squinting at the sun, wondering how to leave properly, how to leave at all and why I want to leave if my mother is not coming back soon. I take a step back and trip over a plastic spatula.
– Be careful! Jace holds out his hand to support me.
– Yeah. Oops! OK, bye!
I convulsively wave to him and run away.
Wow?
God, Samantha!..
Chapter 6
Flip and Tracy come home tanned and disheveled, with grilled clams and birch beer from the Clam Shack. While they put everything on the cutting table, they will hug each other, then pinch each other on the ass, then kiss each other on the ear.
Too bad I didn’t stay with the Garretts. Why didn’t you delay?
Nan’s cell phone must still be in Tim’s possession, because he’s the one who answers the call:
— Listen, Heidi, I don’t think you and I should be seeing each other anymore.
Tim, this is Samantha. Where is Nan?
— For God’s sake, we’re not Siamese twins! Why are you asking me this nonsense?
– I don’t even know. Maybe because you answer her cell phone. Nan at home?
– It seems so. Maybe. Or not, says Tim.
I am disconnecting. The landline is busy, and the Masons have no call waiting: Mrs. Mason calls it an electronic way to be rude. We’ll have to go to Nan’s on a bike.
Tracy and Flip have moved to the sofa in the living room and everyone is whispering, everyone is giggling.
— Baby, what are you doing to me? whispers a half-turned up Flip.
Boo!
– I feel good next to you! I sing loudly.
Stop it! Tracy screams.

The tide has begun, and in the heat this means that the salty smell from the bay is especially strong and almost drowns out the swampy aroma of the river. two sides of the city. I love both. I love that you can tell the time of day and season by just closing it and taking a deep breath. I close my eyes, inhale the warm, damp air, hear a frightened scream, open my eyes, and at the last moment turn away from the woman in the pink visor, socks, and sandals. Stony Bay is located on a small peninsula at the mouth of the Connecticut River. We have a large bay, so tourists love our city. In summer, there are three times more people around. Why didn’t I have the sense not to drive with my eyes closed?
Nan opens the door. She presses the phone to her ear, nods at me in the direction of the living room, and on the phone says:
– For me, you are the best option. Therefore, I would like to apply for admission as soon as possible.
How many times I go to the Masons, the sensations do not change. They have happy-faced Hummel figurines everywhere, metal discs with Irish blessings on the walls, lace doilies on every chair and on the TV. In the restroom, the toilet paper is hidden under the lush pink crinoline of a hollow-eyed doll.
On the shelves instead of books there are other figurines and photographs of Nan and Tim, who in early childhood looked like two peas in a pod. As Nan dictates her address, I study the photo for the millionth time. Here are one-year-old babies Nan and Tim dressed as Santa and Mrs. Claus. Here is Nan and Tim, with round eyes and fluff on their heads, reminiscent of Easter chickens. Here are preschoolers Nan and Tim. At eight years old, the photographs cut off abruptly. If I remember correctly, that year on Independence Day the twins were dressed up as Uncle Sam and Betsy Ross, [Ross, Betsy (née Elizabeth Griscom) — a seamstress from Philadelphia. According to legend, she sewed the first American flag.] and Tim bit the photographer.
Photographs of the twins are much more similar than they are now. They are both red and freckled, but according to the law of meanness, Nan has light red hair, whitish eyelashes and freckles all over her face. Tim has only a light scattering of freckles on his nose, dark eyelashes and eyebrows, and mahogany hair. Yes, if not for the eternal buzz, he would have been handsome.
“Columbia uni on the line,” Nan whispers. – I’m making my own request. It’s good that you came, otherwise I have thoughts in one direction.
– I called you on your cell, but Tim answered and did not call you.
– So that’s where my cell phone is! He used all the money on his own and took mine. I’m going to kill him!
— Is it not possible to order an application form on the university website? I ask, even though I already know the answer. Nan is not friendly with his laptop, he opens a million windows at the same time, he never closes, so the laptop cuts out.
– Laptop is again treated by Macho Mitch.
Mitch is an eerily handsome computer tech who works at home on Nan’s laptop. A friend thinks he looks like her idol Steve McQueen. I think he’s pouty, surly, and irritable because he’s always fixing the same problems.
– Thank you… Yes, when will the application be sent? Nan asks on the phone.
And then Tim enters the living room with tousled hair. He’s wearing frayed plaid pajama bottoms and an Ellery High lacrosse team T-shirt. Tim does not look at us – he goes to the window, by which there is a Noah’s Ark with Hummel figurines, and builds something obscene out of them. He arranges Noah’s wife and camel in a compromising, anatomically complex position, at which point Nan ends the phone call.
“I wanted to call you myself,” she says. When did you start working as a lifeguard? I’ve been working in a gift shop since next week.
— I also start next week.
Tim yawns loudly, scratches his chest and puts two monkeys and a rhino in an incredible pose. From where I sit, I can smell the smell of weed and beer.
— Timmy, say hello to Samantha!
– Hello, baby! It feels like we were talking a couple of minutes ago. Oh yes! We really talked. Sorry! Where the hell are my manners? Shriveled, you see, in dry cleaning, and that’s it, kapets! Do you want a visa? Timmy takes a bottle from his pocket and hands it to me.
“Thank you, but I try to keep my drips to a minimum,” I reply.
Tim’s gray eyes need a win. It hurts to watch a smart, astute guy trying desperately to be as dumb as possible. Tim collapses onto the couch with a groan and covers his eyes with his hand. I don’t remember what he was like until he started to get used to the role of Betty Ford. [Elizabeth Ann “Betty” Bloomer Ford, wife of US President Gerald Ford, was an alcoholic.]
When we were little, our families often spent summer weekends together. I was more friends with Tim then than with Nan. Tracy and Nan sunbathed, read, wet their feet in the water, and Tim was not afraid of huge waves and dragged me along. It was Tim who discovered the rapids in the bay, saw that I was in trouble, and pulled me out.
– Baby, did you glue someone together? Lying on the couch, Tim looks at me and wiggles his eyebrows. “Charlie sucks because you didn’t fall for his shit.” If you understand what I mean.
Very funny, Timmy! Now shut up,” Nan says.
— No, Samantha, you sent Charlie right. He’s an asshole. We are no longer friends with him, because, strangely, he is sure that I am an asshole.
“I can’t even believe it,” Nan teases. “Timmy, you better go to bed.” Mom will be back soon and won’t believe you drank so much Benadryl for your allergies. She knows you don’t have allergies.
– Yes! Tim exclaims too loudly and too indignantly. He pulls a joint from his breast pocket and waves triumphantly at Nan. I’m allergic to weed!
Tim laughs and Nan and I look at each other. Tim is usually drunk or stoned. And now he is seething with feverish energy, which means that something more serious has come into play.
– Let’s get out of here! I say. – Let’s walk in the city.
Nan nods:
— Let’s go to Doan’s, shall we? I want chocolate soy ice cream. Nan takes her purse from the flowered easy chair, leans over to the giggling Timmy and shakes him: “Go upstairs!” Now! Until I fell asleep.
