Youth Development Academy
Our Youth Development Academy is a 14-week, 21-hour training series designed for players who want to strengthen their fundamentals and build their confidence through consistent, high-repetition instruction. Each session focuses on core skill development, fundamental concepts, and small-sided gameplay that maximizes touches and decision-making.
The academy provides players with focused, position-specific training that helps them enter their spring and summer association seasons sharper, faster, and more confident.
Each player receives a Lakers shooter shirt as part of the program.
