Will my son be prepared for the spring sesaon after attending this session?

YES!  He will be provided the tools necessary to play and compete, general overview of game rules and strategy.  We will provide the knowledge, development and skills training to play the game and being competitive takes practice outside of our sessions working on stick skills.

My son participated in the Lax Academy previously and has one year of experiencs – will he be challenged and learn anything participating in this again?

YES!  Stick skills, player development and core knowledge of the game is cruicial to players taking the next step in their development.  For a lot of players it takes a couple years to understand and play at a competitive level.  We have players who have been involved in the sport for years that still can sharpen their core stick skills.

I see that this is outside in the winter – will it be cold?  

Of course it will be.  Dress warm – we recommend sweatpants and either a cold gear under your pads and/or sweatshirt over your pads.  Most players get hot and shed layers within the first 20 minutes of the session.  Competitive programs from school aged through NCAA are outside all winter playing and training.  The fields at Capelli are just about all booked for the entire winter til 10pm every night and you will see young boys and girls soccer groups on the fields (sometimes even in shorts) training and competing.  In the event of snow covered fields we have one day built into the calendar and will be able to schedule another make up date if necessary.

I am ready to book, what do I do and what happens from here?

Registration is online through the NJLT Website.  We accept all major credit cards, paypal and even Venmo!  Once registered you will receive a confirmation email that your order has gone through.  About a week prior to the first session you will receive a logistics email that will answer any last minute questions that players/parents may have.  Each week we will be given a field assignment and will announce the field location via email.
