Don't just play lacrosse, master it

Introducing the USA Lacrosse Player Academy – helping youth players develop the foundation for a successful lacrosse career with two days of Sixes instruction.

Elevate your game like never before this summer at the new USA Lacrosse Player Academy, featuring coaching from some of the top U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Team players. These elite athletes will help you unlock your potential as a player, providing advanced instruction for youth players to develop key skills. With the LA28 Olympics on the horizon, our USA Lacrosse Player Academy coaches will empower youth players to both learn the new Sixes discipline and gain an edge with this emerging format of lacrosse.

The 2-day camp is designed and operated by USA Lacrosse National Team Players with assistance from USAL Certified Coaches. The acadmies will focus on player development through the Sixes format to focus on shooting, dodging, passing, communication, and lacrosse IQ development. Players will participate in three 3-hour drill & skill sessions with the camp concluding in round robin game play.
