The goal of the Foundations Lacrosse invite only programs are to provide training that will allow our players to maximize and fulfill their long-term potential as lacrosse players. Our training process breaks skills down into the most foundational pieces. We then use purposeful repetition to ingrain high level habits and skills that will serve our players throughout their lacrosse careers. We focus on long term success on the lacrosse field. We aim to do the things the right way versus the way that gets the best immediate result.
The Program
Our invitation training program is our position based training program. We focus on the combination of high quality repetition, and free play.
Invitation Training Approach: Players who are selected to be involved in this training, should be prepared to play at a high level and push the other player in the invite program to get better each session. They should be prepared to WORK HARD. They will be held to a high standard of energy, effort, and coachability. This program is only for those players who WANT to get better.
Every coach will understand this expectation and will be trying to pull players into being the best lacrosse player they can be while in session.
Foundational Process: Each player needs to drill repetitions at a high level based on their position. This provides the FOUNDATION of a players game.
- Think of an attackman being able to drive to 5 and 5, question mark dodge with proper stick protection, stick to the outside, and overhand finish the ball directly into the bottom corner 10 out of 10 times.
Free Play: Free play is the creative side of the sport. Lacrosse is free flowing, fast, and constantly changing. Players that have amazing foundational skills but play like robots are limited in their effectiveness at the highest levels. We use small field games that require transition and creative play to round out this part of our player's game.
