2025/26 Season Supplemental Evaluations

Minnesota Lakers evaluations are designed to identify players who are ready to grow within a development-first, competitive environment. Each session is structured to assess technical skill, athletic ability, and coachability while giving players and families an authentic look at how Lakers training is run.

Evaluations include speed and movement testing with our professional partner, Training Haus, position-specific skill work, and small-sided gameplay that replicates real game situations. Sessions are led by Lakers coaching staff in a high-tempo, teaching-focused setting.

Players should arrive 15 minutes early to check-in, receive reversible pinnie for evaluations, and getting ready for evaluations. Players should bring their stick, goggles, mouthguard, turf/cleat shoes, and water bottle.
