Program descriptions:

Rising Star Gear Up
a program designed for girl’s lacrosse players in grades five through eight who are looking for skill development; the focus is on teaching all skills with both hands, working on defensive positioning with age appropriate stick checking, shooting techniques and midfield transition ball movement. The fitness component is lacrosse specific training with emphasis on core strength, speed, agility and endurance.

Winter Gear Up
An intense fitness and lacrosse training program for high school and strong eighth grade athletes who want to get a head start for their spring lacrosse seasons. Winter Gear up follows a strength and conditioning builder which starts out fairly conservative and then gets more difficult each session toward the goal of getting ready for pre-season Gear UP.

Similar to the fitness, the skills training begins with low impact stick skills and small sided games and progresses to full field drills that are very competitive and require executing skills at game like speed.

The athletes that typically register for Gear Up are very motivated, the level of competition sores when top lacrosse players create a playing field with defensive pressure as well as aggressive attack skills.

Pre-Season Gear Up
The most popular lacrosse training program! All High School lacrosse coaches would love to have their athletes participate in Gear Up, to be strong, fast and prepared for try-outs.
Gear-Up is familiar to all High School lacrosse athletes, typically players come back every year knowing that the drills, techniques, and fitness sessions are similar to college level lacrosse practices.

Gear Up will excite and challenge players for the spring season, and the level of fitness after three weeks of ‘boot camp’ will empower athletes to have the confidence to Achieve success.
