Training you to become an elite player
We Are Serious about practice: we move fast, we pay attention, we go “ALL OUT” and work hard during training
We focus on the following core lacrossE principles:
Physicality: we play strong physical lacrosse
On offense: initiating and dodging aggressively, changing speed, setting picks, and making cuts
On defense: challenging the ball aggressively, changing speed, maintaining position, and moving off-ball
Awareness: We keep our heads up and anticipate
On offense: finding and creating space, maintaining field vision, and rewarding off-ball movement
On defense: filling space, head-on-a-swivel, sliding, recovery, and maintaining position on ball
Communication: we talk to each other
On offense and defense: communication is key to knowing where and when to move. On field, we talk and we talk loudly in the “language” of lacrosse.
footwork: we are athletic and explosive
On offense and defense: getting to the right place at the right time, in the most efficient way. This requires great footwork and great footwork is integral to high-level lacrosse. Also see physicality and awareness
Stickwork: wE Are Proficient with strong and weak hands
On offense: catching and throwing on the run and across the body, using the weak hand to set up the strong hand, changing planes while shooting, and shooting around your defender
On defense: making checks, blocking passes, playing/pushing at the hips, clearing efficiently, helping move the ball upfield
