Youth sports focus on developing specific skills like cradling, passing, and shooting in lacrosse. While this is extremely important to an athlete’s development in the sport, overall youth physical development needs to be addressed for athletes to guard against injury and excel at their sport.
This is why we work with athletes age seven and up to develop fundamental movement patterns and basic fitness. We start by developing athleticism through bodyweight movements, unilateral work and light resistance. Once athletes demonstrate command of basic skills and have good movement form, we incorporate more resistance and intensity into the program.
