GARY ROSYSKI
TOP CLINIC INSTRUCTOR
ELITE SERIES 1 ON 1 INSTRUCTION
Gary Rosyski is one of the best pure offensive shooters to ever play the professional indoor game. His outside bomb is one of the most accurate in all of lacrosse, and at times seems to find net when there is little more than an inch of space. Rosyski was featured on ESPN's Play of the Week doing his patented "backhand drop shot", which could be one of the most spectacular finishing moves in all of lacrosse. Gary is a Box Lacrosse player from Toronto Canada who now calls San Jose home. Gary is very involved with the South Valley Chiefs lacrosse organization as a coach, clinic instructor, and coaching mentor. He boasts 20 years of Box Lacrosse experience including 8 years playing professionally. He has also played field lacrosse professionally with the San Francisco Dragons.
