Beginner Lessons

Are you new to the sport of lacrosse?

Are you excited to get started?

Many parents and players getting started with lacrosse feel like they are already behind and desire to be up to speed as quickly as possible. Although an extensive training regiment is not required for beginner players, it is important to develop good fundamentals at a young age. Like any sport, if a player develops bad habits at a young age they will continue to develop those habits and make it much more difficult to correct later. 

We consider players who have played less than one entire year a beginner lacrosse player. Although some players may show signs of becoming a great lacrosse player at an early age, developing a strong fundamental base is important to becoming a successful lacrosse player. It is easy for beginner players to be LOST on a field without proper instruction so we cover all the basics that will enable the players to feel COMFORTABLE on a lacrosse field so they can truly enjoy what the sport has to offer. 

In our beginner lessons we start at the basics of lacrosse with proper grip of the stick, stance, throwing form with both hands and continue into basic game strategy. Once the basic stick skills are understood we introduce passing on the run, shooting, ground balls, offensive dodges and defensive checks. After just a few lessons it is easy to see the excitement and the confidence levels of our newbies go through the roof.
