The AILA Heritage Cup features box lacrosse goals, 30 second shot clocks, five on five play and lots of action.  It’s a great developmental opportunity for programs and teams looking for multiple touches and fast-paced play.  The event will feature a coaches’ clinic conducted by Johnny Mouradian, Director of the Canadian National Indoor Lacrosse Program, which will focus on the emerging “2-Man Game” and other Canadian-style teaching techniques to help American players become more effective given theconvergence of box and field lacrosse concepts at the college and international level.
