Pre-Season Winter Training
The Acceleration program begins with a pre-test to measure the athlete's current fitness level. The athlete is then matched to the protocol that best suits his or her athletic capabilities.
Speed Training
High-intensity sprinting sequences on Generation III Super Treadmills improve speed for faster and more efficient movement on the field.
Strength Training
Lacrosse players need incredible upper body strength to throw farther, defend better and catch more easily. Players utilize bodyweight, free weights, medicine balls and circuits on state-of-the-art FreeMotion machines to strengthen muscles, joints and connective tissues.
Plyometric Training
Players perform specific plyometric drills for increased coordination, explosive power, vertical jump height, lateral power and rotation, and landing strength.
Skills
Players focus on advanced skills development in shooting, passing, cradling and catching. Sessions also include offensive and defensive drills.
