PREP PROGRAM
GRADES 5-8
Prep is designed for players in grades 6-9 and our staff is made up of former Professional (MLL) players and coaches, current college/high school coaches, and occasionally we will have special guest coaches in attendance. As the game starts to get a little faster, our Prep Program helps the student athlete improve their game IQ while continuing to master their positional skillsets. building game IQ and confidence will make it easier for players to transition and have a stronger impact on their current town and future high school program. Every session, players will be engaged in small sided games and drills that helps them become better decision makers on the field. Players will get high rep/touch counts with active gameplay at every practice.
