Lacrosse players need the ability to quickly change direction with balance and control, accelerate hard with good stick handling ability, and fire off an explosive shot or defend their goal with strength and confidence.This list provides a brief overview of what the program primarily consists of:
Dynamic warm-ups - Move away from the old school methods of static stretching cold muscles and warm up by actively stretching the muscles in movement patterns that will help decrease the likelihood of muscle strains or pulls.
Prehab - A series of exercises that train the stabilizing muscles which will help reduce the likelihood of injury and give you better stability in running, cutting, stopping, and shooting.
Power exercises - The main staple of our program because it gives the athlete that explosive first step. The player that can accelerate faster or have better closing speed will ultimately have the edge.
Movement skills - This incorporates speed and agility drills unique to lacrosse.Combining efficient movement patterns along with the use of sleds, bungees, and various cone drills, the player learns to accelerate, decelerate, and change direction more effectively.
Strength – Using an integrated strength approach, we apply functional strength training to increase balance and stability in addition to strength.
Core - With the use of various medicine ball exercises, we train the core through multiple planes to help increase rotational power for shot speed.
