INTRO TO LACROSSE (CO-ED) - 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.
LITTLE WARRIORS
Little Warriors is all about giving the girls a great learning experience while having a lot of fun. Proper fundamentals are key to establishing a great foundation to her having a great lacrosse experience throughout her career. At the same time we want the girls to have fun so we will be weaving in fun games that teach eye hand coordination, spacing, ball movement, defensive skills, etc. as well as game play.
CORE 2: SKILL MASTER
In our Skillmaster class, players will continue to become more proficient with their strong hands while incorporating weak-handed stick skills. A key point of emphasis in this class will be incorporating their ability to pass and catch with a teammate in motion. Players should expect to learn different ways to: receive a pass from a teammate, move after they pass the ball, and how to get open in order to receive a pass from a teammate. In addition we will begin to teach different two-man game movements like give and go’s, backdoor cuts, draw and dumps and the best ways to defend each of them.
CORE 3: PRODIGY
This class brings together the 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. The training ranges from stick skills to shooting and dodging to advanced game play.
SHOOTING & DODGING - LEVEL 1
Our fundamental shooting class that focuses on what it takes to become a great shooter and dodger. Players will be taught proper throwing/shooting forms and how to generate more power in their shots. Learning the correct footwork for each dodge (split, jab, roll, face) starting at a slow pace is critical before progressing into full speed.
SHOOTING & DODGING - LEVEL 2
This class builds off of the foundation of Level 1 Shooting/Dodging training by continuously refining the existing built skills while adding new throwing forms to enhance your skills such as low to high, worm burner, and behind the backs. We also add more specific dodge moves from various spots on offense, enhanced faking abilities, and refining finishing skills around the goal.
GOALIE FOUNDATION TRAINING
BBL's Goalie Foundation is designed to develop goaltenders of all ages. This unique program addresses the specific training needs of each goalie. Classes will begin with goalie specific strength and conditioning and reflex drills to create a more athletic and dynamic goalie in the crease.
ADVANCED GOALIE TRAINING
This unique program addresses the specific training needs of each goalie. Classes will begin with goalie specific strength and conditioning drills to create a more athletic and explosive goalie in the crease, followed by skill development. In addition to building a better "stopper" we also focus on areas outside of the crease: athleticism, leadership, communication, and Lax IQ.
GAME PLAY EVOLUTION
Players will be challenged to incorporate ambidextrous stick skills thus developing competence with their weak hands. The players will be put in situations that require them to pass and throw under pressure. One of the main focal points of this class will be 3v3 concepts where players are forced to move when they don't have the ball in their stick and create space for their teammates. On the opposite side, players will be taught defensive positioning and the beginnings of team defense and how to help when your player does not have the ball and the timing of slides.
ELITE GAME PLAY
Elite game play is the last step in our Core Training series. Players continue to refine their abilities to play in numbered scenarios building from 1v1s up to 4v4s (1v1s, 2v1s, 1v2s, 2v2s, 3v2s, 2v3s, 3v3s, 4v3s, 3v4s, and 4v4s) from the 4 quadrants around the goal as well as the crease. If group and field size allow, we also will add small sided 2-way games which work on transition play, clearing and riding including two-way 3v3 games (like basketball), 1-2-1, 2-1-2, and 2-2-2s. Elite Gameplay classes are coached by our highest level BBL certified coaches with the most experience.
