Overview

Northern Power Spring Prep Academy is back for its third year, bringing you positional training to take your game to the next level! Spring prep will be a skill- and position-focused training program to sharpen your axe for the spring and give players an individualized action plan to continue improving their skills throughout the season. We take pride in offering advanced and innovative training opportunities year-round. Registration is open to all offensive, defensive, and goaltending players, as well as faceoff specialists.

Curriculum

As the game continues to evolve, so do we. We are constantly studying the top coaches, teams, players, and systems in lacrosse to bring you some of the best training the state offers. Hundreds of reps and advanced skills in an atmosphere where players can learn and retain technical and tactical aspects of the game.

Offensive Curriculum

  • The Goal: To build multi-dimensional offensive players who are dangerous dodgers, feeders, and scorers who can make quick and effective decisions under pressure.
  • The Skills: DASH Dodging, Scoring Form and Velocity, on-the-run progressions, 1,2,3 scoring, up the hash/island work, and 2-man game mastery.

Defensive Curriculum

  • The goal: Build multi-dimensional defenders who excel on-ball, off-ball, in sliding positions, and transition. Defenders who dictate the pace and direction of the dodger/ball thrive under pressure and play in the gray.
  • The Skills: footwork, battle approaches, checks, show/slide, and recoveries, defending the two-man game, verbal and nonverbal communication, and offensive skills to build the complete defender.

Faceoff Curriculum

  • The Goal: Build multi-dimensional faceoff specialists who can dominate and adjust against any player or style. Players who not only dominate at the x but also dominate ground balls, defense, and in transition.
  • The Skills: Form, hand speed, moves, ball control, counters, exits, goldfish memory,  ground balls, and winning wing play. Players will also jump in with the offense and defensive groups for a drill or two each session to work on skills they need to become a complete player.
