LVHN Sports Medicine & Performance

07/31/2026

Last week at the new Upper Macungie Township Community Lifestyle Center, we hosted the LVHN Impact Athlete Lacrosse Clinic, where 100 registered boys and girls learned from PLL Utah Archers' Mike Sisselberger and Slippery Rock's Paige Jenkin. This free event took athletes through a series of skills and drills before the girls took down the boys in a friendly goal post/crossbar accuracy competition!

We'd like to thank everyone who made the event possible, including Upper Macungie Recreation, DJ Romeo G, and our coaching assistants who took time out of their day to give back to the sport!

Lighter numbers to wrap up another successful Lafayette College Summer Impact Series, but we were grateful to welcome 100 boys and girls over the course of the six week program.

The series introduced developing athletes to the fundamentals of strength training while incorporating speed, agility, and movement-based exercises designed to build a strong athletic foundation and improve overall performance.

Throughout the summer, Lafayette College student-athletes, including members of our Impact Athlete program, worked alongside participants each week, serving as mentors, demonstrating drills, and helping create a positive and encouraging environment.

A huge thank you to the Lafayette College and LVHN strength coaches, student-athletes, families, and everyone who made this year’s Summer Impact Series possible. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to helping even more young athletes grow both on and off the field next summer.
