One-on-one and small group

Boys lacrosse training, built around one player.

It matters that we get to know a player before we write them a plan. Everyone arrives with a different style and a different skill set, so the training is fitted to their game rather than the other way round.

$75 per hour, one-on-one. Groups of two or more are less per player.

How it works

A plan, then the work between lessons.

Individual and small group training concentrates on fundamentals, form, strategy, and current concepts. The method puts the player in charge of their own progress: they leave with something specific to work on, and the next lesson starts there.

First lesson

Watch, then diagnose.

An hour of playing and drilling so the coach can see the real game rather than a description of it. Time is set aside to adjust the pocket and go through wall ball.

Every lesson after

Work the weakness.

Drills aimed at what actually needs fixing, reviewed at the end, with a plan for the week. Improving lacrosse IQ, athleticism, and ability together is what carries over to the next level.

We train every aspect of the game, for every position

What gets drilled

The concepts, position by position.

The same list across one-on-one sessions, camps, and clinics. What changes is the pace and how much of it a given player needs.

Offensive concepts

Passing and shooting equally with both hands: overhand, three-quarter release, sidearm, quick release
Dodging from all areas of the offensive box: up top, the wings, and behind
Change of speed and direction on every move
Pivot shooting, to maximize rotation and extension
Checkmark pivot shooting on the run, out of the dodge
Step down (time and room) shooting, and the options off it
One move and go dodging
Two move and go dodging
Off ball movement
The two man game

Jason corrected him, patiently, every single time. Any ball that missed the net, our son had to chase.
