Nutmeg continues its outstanding Fall Ball program for girls with this season's programs at Danbury, Greenwich, and Southington. The Fall season starts with the first session on September 9th and the last session concludes on October 21st. Each session is split between 60 minutes of fun skill building drills and 60 minutes of instructed scrimmage.

The program is a comprehensive developmental sequence of drills and activities to build individual and team skills. Beyond the strength of the program itself, is the extraordinary depth and quality of the coaching staff. We have assembled the best teachers of the game from among the top colleges and high schools in the region. We use a low coach to player ratio, 7 v7 games, and a drill station approach to provide the greatest amount of instruction for each session.

Danielle Skakandi is Director of the Greenwich Women's Program. She grew up on Long Island and played her high school lacrosse at perennial powerhouse Farmingdale. She moved on to play her college lacrosse at Division I Hofstra University where "her knowledge of the game and presence" made her the anchor of the team's defense. Her career at Hofstra was capped when she was named as an All American her senior year where she also was captain of the team.

After graduation she returned to her alma mater as Assistant Coach of the Women's Lacrosse team. This past year she became coach of the Women's Lacrosse team at Cold Spring High School, a Director of Aero Lax Camp and a Director of the Long Island Yellow Jackets. more program details.
