Becoming A Laker

At Minnesota Lakers, we believe in hard work, inclusivity, leadership, and long-term development—not just immediate results. Player development should be fun, challenging, and inspiring. It should build a passion for the sport, a never-stop-learning mindset, and a strong work ethic where nothing is given—everything is earned.

We prepare players for their next level, whether that’s making varsity, standing out in high school, or competing in college. Development goes beyond lacrosse skills—it’s about training the complete athlete. Our program prioritizes:

• Speed & conditioning as a core part of development, not an add-on
• Mental training for stress management, team dynamics, and overcoming challenges
• General mental health & recovery to ensure players are at their best, on and off the field

Lakers players and parents can trust that we’re fully committed to every aspect of development—physical, mental, and strategic.
