Lacrosse clinics open to interested youth Local youngsters interested in playing lacrosse can learn the game and gain valuable fundamental skills at a series of Sunday clinics being put on by Point Loma High School’s (PLHS) varsity coaches and players. Clinic groupings will be determined by skill level and gender at the first session on Sunday, Sept. 25. The clinic continues Oct. 2, 9, 16 and 23. All sessions are being held on the PLHS field. Elementary-age players will work from 9 to 10:15 a.m., followed by middle-schoolers from 10:30 a.m. to noon and high school players from 12:30 to 2 p.m. A donation of $50 is suggested for the five-session clinic.

CrossFit OB opens, plans first adventure race CrossFit Ocean Beach, a locally owned and operated facility at 1811 Sunset Cliffs Blvd., has opened its doors to deliver a fitness that is, by design, broad, general and inclusive. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. Owned by Chad Timm and Philip Kavanagh, CrossFit is affordable small-group training comprised of real-world movements compared to “working out” or “exercising” alone in a sea of confusing, muscle isolating machinery designed for body builders. CrossFit Ocean Beach is hitting the ground running with its first special event on Nov. 12 called the “Ocean Beach Urban Adventure Race.” This one-of-a-kind event combines a scavenger hunt, CrossFit movements, Ocean Beach merchants, fun and prizes. The event will benefit the Episcopal Community Service’s Domestic Violence Program in Ocean Beach. For more information, call (619) 573-9689, or visit www.crossfitocean-beach.com.
