Achievelax’s “Fall-Ball” program is designed to enhance the athlete’s skill development, strength and conditioning.  Participants of Fall Gear Up recognize that they must commit themselves to year-round skill building and conditioning in order to Achieve success on the field in the spring.  Fall Gear Up, structured similarly to Winter and Pre-Season Gear Up, challenges the athlete with fast-paced, high-intensity drills, small-sided and full-field games, and demanding fitness training!

Individualized Goal Keeper training will be provided during Gear Up sessions.  The focus over the 6 week program will include: proper warm up technique, footwork, shot stopping mechanics, positioning & angles, clearing, out-of-crease play and on-field vocal communication. Coaching of all skills will come in 1v1 instruction, small group instruction, small-sided drills and live play.

*NEW* for 2020: Fall Gear Up will take place outside at Union Point Sports Complex in Weymouth, MA!

An intense fitness and lacrosse training program for high school athletes who want to get a head start preparing for the spring lacrosse seasons.  Winter Gear Up follows a strength and conditioning builder which starts out fairly conservative and gradually grows in difficulty with each session.  Similar to the fitness, the skills training begins with low impact stick skills and small-sided games and progresses to full field drills that are very competitive and require executing skills at game like speed.  The athletes that participate in Gear Up are motivated; the level of competition sores when top lacrosse players come together on the same field.  This highly-competitive program challenges players to execute under intense pressure, at a very fast pace.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made some adjustments to the typical Winter Gear Up schedule in order to adhere to state guidelines, limit the number of participants on a field and enforce social distancing.  Additional health and safety guidelines will be posted shortly!

Winter Gear Up > Grades 8, 9, and 10: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday

Pre-Season Gear Up is a program designed specifically to prepare players for their high school tryouts.  It is known to all high school lacrosse players for intense strength and conditioning and fast-paced, competitive drills.  Players who participate in Gear Up generally sign up year after year as they have seen the results of Gear Up pay off during their high school tryouts.  Gear Up will excite and challenge players!  After surviving three weeks of “boot camp,” players will be empowered, prepared and confident that they will Achieve success on the field!
