About the Academy
Skills-First Training,
Built for Every Season
The Boys Lax Academy is a 60-minute, fundamentals-focused training program running seven blocks throughout the year. It's built for boys in grades 2–10 who want to develop real lacrosse skills — not just put in time. Whether your son is picking up a stick for the first time or sharpening what he already knows, every session is structured to maximize reps, build confidence, and produce measurable growth.
Sessions rotate between two NJ locations — indoor sessions at Ivy League in Manalapan (Winter, Preseason, Fall 2) and outdoor sessions at Cedar Drive Middle School in Colts Neck (Spring, Midseason, Summer, Fall). Four sessions per block. One evening per week.
Fundamentals & Position-Specific IQ
Every session builds the technical foundation players need — stick work, dodging, shooting, defense, and the game IQ to make it all work in real situations.
Maximum Reps Every Night
60 minutes of high-intensity skill reps. No filler, no long lines. Every player works continuously from warm-up to final whistle.
Expert NLT Lacrosse Coaches
Direct access to experienced coaches in a small-group setting — with personal feedback that actually moves the needle between sessions.
Seasonally Appropriate Curriculum
Each block is timed to prepare players for what's coming — spring season, summer camp, fall competition, or winter development.

Right Program?
Who the Boys Lax Academy Is Built For
The Academy is designed for a specific player profile — one that benefits most from high-rep, fundamentals-focused coaching in a small-group setting.
Beginners Building a Foundation
Players new to lacrosse (under 2 years experience) who want to learn the game the right way — proper mechanics, real fundamentals, and a solid base to build on in their school or club program.
Developing Players Leveling Up
Players with some experience who want more reps, more one-on-one coaching feedback, and more deliberate skill development than their school or rec league alone can provide.
Year-Round Athletes
Players who understand that consistent off-season training is what separates good players from great ones — and who want to train smart across every season of the year.

FAQs
Who is the Boys Lax Academy designed for?
Boys in grades 2–10 at beginner to intermediate experience levels. The curriculum is built for players with less than two years of experience, but experienced players benefit from additional reps, skill refinement, and high-quality coaching in a focused environment.
How many sessions are there per year?
Seven training blocks: Winter, Preseason, Spring, Midseason, Summer, Fall, and Fall 2. Each block is four consecutive weekly sessions. Players can join a single block or train year-round for continuous development.
What's the difference between indoor and outdoor sessions?
Outdoor sessions (Spring, Midseason, Summer, Fall) are at Cedar Drive Middle School in Colts Neck NJ and cost $150. Indoor sessions (Winter, Preseason, Fall 2) are at Ivy League in Manalapan NJ and cost $165. Indoor spots are more limited — register early.

Full boys lacrosse protective gear: stick, helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, mouthguard, cleats or sneakers, and water. Players without proper protective equipment cannot participate. Lacrosse Unlimited in Red Bank and SidelineSwap online are both excellent resources.
Can my son do both the Academy and the Summer Camp?
Yes — and we highly recommend it. The Boys Lax Academy and the Summer Camp are complementary programs. Academy sessions build technical skills throughout the year; Summer Camp (June & July, grades 2–12) provides a full 4-day competitive experience. Many players do both every year.
