Middle School Teams

Our middle school program is a one-season model running from the last non-Holiday weekend in August through July. Training is broken into Fall Ball, Winter Skills, and the Summer Season, giving players consistent, structured training throughout the year without having to piece together different programs. Practices are designed for high reps, high-quality touches, and high energy, combining lacrosse and athletic development in every session. Our schedule is intentionally built to minimize conflicts with association practices and games so that players can succeed in both.



Select 14U – For grad years 2030 and 2031. Players follow the same development-first model as our high school teams, with practice times and tournament schedules designed to complement association lacrosse.



Our year is divided into three areas of focus, each building on the last. The season begins with baseline testing in both athletic and lacrosse skills. Using this information and each player’s self-assessment, we set a development goal designed to push them just outside their comfort zone—difficult enough that success isn’t guaranteed, but meaningful enough to drive real growth.

Starting Sunday, September 7, through Sunday, October 19, every Sunday includes 1 hr of Speed & Conditioning and 1.5 hrs of lacrosse training. 

Focus on team concepts, stick skills, and conditioning. Includes one required fall tournament.
