winter GEAR UP
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 soars 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.
Achievelax’s indoor program, Rising Stars and Middle School Gear Up, is once-a-week for four consecutive weeks with the purpose of introducing lacrosse training to grades kindergarten through seventh. The program is designed to introduce lacrosse to young athletes, as well as challenge returners by focusing on the fundamentals of the sport in a fun indoor space. Instruction will include but is not limited to; stick skills, athletic development, 1v1 drills, high-intensity drills, small group instruction, small sided field games, and fun competitions!
