Who Can Benefit?
What's the difference...
between playing well or dominating your opponent?
running a 5-flat forty or exploding with a 4.5 or less?
shooting a lacrosse ball 70 mph or steaming one at 98 mph?
In today's world, the differences can help a player achieve his athletic goals whether it’s making his varsity team or becoming a dominate force at his level of competition. Additionailly, it may open up doors down the road as the athlete persues lacrosse and academic opportunites at the collegiate level.
A lacrosse training program must carefully balance the rigors of one of the most strenuous team sports. The sport requires the physical and performance qualities of most other sports combined. Players must possess strength, power, speed, agility and endurance. Players are almost constantly moving as they attempt to maneuver the ball into the goal.
We will help you focus on the important aspects of your game and achieve your personal and performance goals.
Speed, Agility & Power Development
Speed, agility and power training are extremely important for a lacrosse player. The athlete that is able to stop on a dime, change direction quickly and accelerate to top speed faster than their opponent will win the battle on the field. This will help prevent injuries and get the mind and body ready for the more intense training to come!
Conditioning
Having a good understanding of each energy system and how it correlates with your conditioning program is very important. Training the correct energy systems and having a proper progression will leave your competition gasping for air. Lacrosse players, for instance, need to do short-to-moderate sprints and intervals, and have little need to run long distances. All positions will benefit from both aerobic and anaerobic endurance training.
Flexibility
The benefits of stretching is usually overlooked by many coaches and athletes. Two different types of stretching and what exercises to do for each routine will be offered in this program. These routines will not only prevent injuries, and increase flexibility but also increase performance.
