Our development program, known as the Minnesota Lakers Lacrosse Team, is for players who want to take their game to the next level but aren't yet ready for starting varsity or traveling club level play. 
 
Our developmental team is structured to help girls develop their lacrosse, leadership, and service skills in off-season practices, play, and tournaments. Practices will consist of creating and building strong foundations and fundamentals of lacrosse such as:
 
  • Passing
  • Catching
  • Stick Skills
  • Shooting
  • Communication
  • Ground Balls
  • Off Ball Movement
  • Defensive Positioning and Concepts
  • Offensive Positioning and Concepts
  • Transition Offense
  • Transition Defense
  • Footwork
  • Conditioning
  • Increasing Lax IQ
 
In addition, we support girls from various high school and community programs to give them the skill sets to help them be successful on their spring teams and reach their individual goals. 
 
The Minnesota Lakers Lacrosse Team will receive the same high-level coaching as our Minnesota Lakers Select teams.
 
Teams will practice together on Tuesday and Monday nights throughout the season and attend required tournaments (Blue Ox in June in the Twin Cities area and The Showdown in July in Naperville, Ill.). 2023 Summer Season practices will be at Hopkins High School or in the Hopkins/St. Louis Park area.
