Preseason Development Academy

Our Preseason Development Academy is a 37-hour training series with two practices per week (Thursdays and Sundays) designed for high school and middle school players who want to strengthen their fundamentals, sharpen their decision-making skills, and enter the 2026 MSHSL/WIAA season prepared to perform.

Each session focuses on core skill development, positional concepts, and small-sided gameplay that maximizes touches and in-game application. Training is open to all players — no club affiliation required.

Each player receives a Lakers shooter shirt and a reversible pinnie.

The Player Development Academy combines technical skill work, athletic development, and situational gameplay to build complete, confident players. Training is designed to maximize touches, repetitions, and decision-making through a balance of individual instruction and competitive application.

• Station-based training model
• Individual skill development and positional concepts
• High-repetition progressions to refine mechanics and stickwork
• Situational awareness and positional execution

• One hour of speed and conditioning training
• 60–90 minutes of lacrosse training
• Individual and positional skill work
• Small-sided gameplay emphasizing pace and decision-making
• Competitive 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 scenarios

For players who want to expand their preparation, optional Speed & Conditioning sessions are available one or two days per week through our partnership with Training HAUS (Stillwater and Plymouth). Sunday speed trainings take place prior to skills practice.

These sessions complement the skill work by building strength, mobility, and on-field efficiency in the months leading up to the season — not during it.
