BOYS NORTH ACADEMY CLASSES Fall 2
BBL Boys North Fall 2 Academy Classes are starting up again! We are proud to provide premier training opportunities for lacrosse players.
ADVANCED GAMEPLAY
Advanced Gameplay : this fast paced and exciting class provides a well rounded focus on stick skill development, 1on1s and small sided game play scenario training - with even and odd man play building up from 2v1s to 5v5s. Players will get to play on both sides offensively and defensively to provide them with a greater depth of learning opportunities. Training is taught by some of the top BBL coaches. If the Advanced Gameplay class is not an appropriate level class for your child, we do reserve the option to move your child to a class where he would develop his skills prior to taking the Advanced Gameplay class. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads). ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.
TRAVEL TEAM PREP
Travel Team Prep is a program for those that are advanced for their age and want to play with and against other players of like-skill. Players are taught fundamental skills and small sided game play concepts. Every session ends with fun short sided games. This is the perfect program to participate in as a precursor to trying out for the BBL Travel Team program. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads).
FOUNDATIONS
At the beginning stages of learning lacrosse, we want all players to focus on being great with their dominant hand. This class will focus on passing, catching, picking up ground balls and being able to cradle with the dominant hand so that players can ultimately compete in 1v1 or 2v1 settings. Players will be run through specific drills and also compete in small-sided games. Our Foundations class is focused on building strong all-around lacrosse players who needs more work on his/her dominant hand fundamentals. No Prerequisite Classes Required. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads). ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.
OFFENSIVE POSITIONAL TRAINING
For the player who is passionate about succeeding on the offensive side of the ball we have a dedicated class that is going to push offensive minded players to develop a well-rounded skill set. Training will center around developing advanced individual offensive skills including ball carrying, dodging, shooting on the run, set shooting from the perimeter from the wings, midfield area and attack positions as well as 2 and 3 man teamwork concepts. There are certain skills that set the highest level of players from the rest and we believe it is important to rep and teach those skills, since a lot of a team practice is centered around bigger picture offensive and defensive situations. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads). ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.
DEFENSIVE POSITIONAL TRAINING
This class will focus on defining and refining the crucial skills needed in an impenetrable defense. We seek to improve upon the general defense-specific reactive footwork by utilizing exercises from the best Division 1 programs. Teaching defensive arm work and stick work, and communication for 1 v. 1s from each of the 7 offensive initiation spots. Focusing on other defense specific skills for ground balls, long distance throwing, and more. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves, arm pads and shoulder pads). ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.

BBL's Goalie Training is a great opportunity to receive instruction and have the opportunity to get plenty of reps to practice skills. Please note that players need all equipment for this class: Boys (stick, helmet, gloves and pads). ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.
