ABOUT-
"This is exactly what I would want to see my athletes doing in the off season to get better for our High School. We have such a short time "in-season" that athletes need to enter the spring season with a strong skill set into our season" -MSHSL HS Head Coach
Training beginners to All-Americans!
With a staff made up of MSHSL coaches, and NCAA/MCLA players, our training session have proven over the years to be an outstanding "off season" program, or "Training Season" as we call it! Athletes have fun, and are coached through progressive practice plans. The speed of pace doesn't rest as we are able to build in our dynamic coaching points through each drill or fitness element so the athlete can learn as they go with proper instruction Our coaches teach the "Why" in each function of play.

WHICH SESSION IS RIGHT FOR ME?
"Vs." Sessions
1/3 OFFENSE/DEFENSE specific work - 1/3 COMBINED SKILLS stickwork & agility - 1/3 1v1 reps
Our experienced staff will lead offense and defense in a series of drills that highlight dodging, footwork, speed, contact, deception, spacial awareness and concepts. Sessions will be capped to allow an equal amount of defense vs. offense athletes. Coaches will create practice plans consisting of O/D split that will incorporate footwork, skill, dodging and body position concepts and coaching elements prior to joining and going head to head in the "Vs." matchups. Defenders WILL NOT find a better training element than going up against a live target.
GAME CHANGER in the training world!
OFFENSE - GOALIE - FACE OFF
Sessions focus on no contact position specific training for offense. Focus on the skill set for any age. A great fit for a younger player to focus on learning without pressure against an opponent, but also a staple set of core fundamentals our college athletes train with when back from college! Breaking down the skill set, maintaining a fast pace with a ton of reps!
- Offense- Dodges, Shooting on the run, time and room, finishing, crease play with speed and accuracy. Passing with pressure, traffic, accuracy
- Goalies will focus on mechanics through repetition to build speed and efficient body movements. Lacrosse IQ as part of the practice plan, and counter movements will be the backbone of each training session.
- Face Off will focus on pure face off instruction, mechanics, and reps. The staff will lead players through a group format on specific skill sets as well as head to head format.

- We expose the players to a faster, more competitive game against talented and driven opponents.
- Geared towards proper mechanics, but also creativity in gameplay
- In practice and training we focus on max rep drills, skill/technique breakdowns, and decision making opportunities in game play scenarios.
- Our players are not role players, they are leaders.
- In a game setting this translates to a more confident, skilled, responsible player.
- Positive motivation with development = Fun
