The Official Player Development Program
Train More. Improve Faster. Earn Your Opportunity.
Positional Sessions
Development First. Always.
Academy is our fall development program for athletes who want extra instruction outside their regular team environment. Unlike a travel team, it is built entirely around individual player development — maximum repetitions, stronger fundamentals, and coaching that meets each athlete where he is.
More repetitions
Smaller training groups
Position-specific instruction
Individual coaching & feedback
Competitive drills
Progressive skill development
Age-appropriate teaching
Ongoing player evaluations
The Pathway
Our staff evaluates Academy athletes all fall. Players who show improvement, work ethic, and coachability earn consideration for future travel teams. Placement is never guaranteed — but the pathway is structured and real.
Talent isn’t fixed. Put in the work — we’ll invest in your development.
Who It’s For
Athletes new to lacrosse who need fundamentals taught the right way.
Summer-only players who want more skill work in the fall.
Athletes who can’t commit to a full travel schedule.
Players who didn’t make a roster but want to earn one.
Schedule
Starting September 14th
