TRAINING FORMAT:

First Half – Focuses on player development and positional specific training skills.

4 QUARTERS

1st Quarter – Player Development and Warmup

Skills development drills for all players to get ready to dive into high level position specific training and gameplay.  Players need to get their sticks and body ready to compete before getting into position specific training.

2nd Quarter – Position Specific Training

• Offense Training: – This training focuses on scoring goals and setting up the offense on the field to beat the defensive player.  Starting by breaking down players core shooting and developing their shot to be faster and more accurate, the training sessions move to attacking the goal, dodging, feeding and breaking down defense.

• Defense Training: From stick checks and body position to team defense, this training session will build the defense into a force on the defensive end of the field.  This session will develop and instill the tools necessary to compete and stop the offense by building a players individual skills, footwork, stick checks and applying them into a team defensive format and scheme.
• Goalie Training: Building brick walls is the goal of this training.  Taking an experienced goalie to the next level is something that NJLT specializes in.  Starting with the core goalie fundamentals, we will quickly get into challenge shots and how to face the hardest angles, positions, locations and shooters on the field.  Goalies who train with NJLT leave with a high level of confidence in their skills and a commanding position on the field.

3rd Quarter – Game Situations

Game situations are focused on the micro level games within the big picture game of lacrosse.  This includes 2 man games, man up/man down, progression drills, draws and wing play etc…  The game situations involve positions combining and pairing against each other in competition.  These experiences, are often overlooked, but are a huge part of winning in the game of lacrosse.

4th Quarter – Scrimmages

Game Time!  After training hard by position and playing the games within the game, it’s time to roll the ball out and place the players into live competition.  Scrimmages are coached by NJLT coaching staff and will break down the X’s & O’s when the opportunities become available.
