BOYS CENTRAL FALL ACADEMY CLASSES
Intro to Lacrosse - Level 1
Intro to Lacrosse 1 combines a fun and upbeat atmosphere with teaching the foundations of the sport at the most basic level. This class is for any player interested in learning more about the sport and will focus on skills like hand eye coordination, movement patterns, and the fundamentals of using a lacrosse stick. Over the years we have created a syllabus of drills that focus on the basics while allowing newer players a fun environment that is sure to challenge them yet also gets them ready for taking their game to the next level if they choose down the road! Please note that players only need a stick for this class and we recommend a basic beginner stick. ONLY Sneakers or Turf shoes allowed.
BBL Boys Central Fall 1 Academy Classes are starting up again! We are proud to provide premier training opportunities for lacrosse players.
Core 1: Foundations

Players will be run through unique drills designed by BBLwhich fast tracks their overall development. In turn this helps players enjoy the game more - as their skills improve they are enabled to see and think the game better which furthers their rapid improvement.

Young Starz
Young Stars is a great way for young intermediate and advanced players to receive developmental training while continuing to build their love of lacrosse through playing games. Each session focuses o fundamental stick skill development (cradling, loose ball acquisition and control, throwing, dodging) and small sided skills (1v1s, 2v1s, 2v2s). Each session ends with short sided games which are fast paced and fun while maximizing touches in the condensed field space which creates an exponential amount more of game play moments for players to engage with and learn from. Young Starz program is INVITE only (for those not invited, please register for TRYOUT for Young Starz) and will carry on throughout the fall, winter and spring.

Shooting & Dodging 1
This class will teach the player everything they need to know to develop. Players will get a chance to work on basic footwork into dodges (split, jab, roll, face) starting at a slow pace before going at it full speed. In order to become strong dodgers we believe that it is important that players have the proper footwork and technique before ultimately incorporating the upper body and the proper shooting form. In one of our classes players can expect to take close to 150 shots or more while being challenged by our coaches to focus on their accuracy and power. 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.

Prodigy is our most challenging training program for advanced players 3rd-4th grade. The developmental needs of advanced players at this age needs to be catered to in the right training environment. This class brings together top players for their age to provide them with a challenging and very fun playing environment so that they can learn more and do more in their practice and game play. This class focuses on improving ambidextrous stick skills, one v one dodging and defense, shooting, and small sided game play (2v1s up to 4v4s). Advanced young players love the Prodigy Program.
