Once the cold months of winter pass, lacrosse players will be eager to get back outside and begin training for the upcoming season. To help players better prepare for the season ahead, FLG Lacrosse offers a one-of-a-kind spring training program for its 3rd through 8th grade FLG Select Teams.
In the past few years, the sport of lacrosse has become extremely competitive, even at the elementary school level. Now, more than ever, young players find themselves battling for starting positions, which subsequently places an increased importance on quality training programs. FLG Spring Training gives players the opportunity to build a strong foundation prior to the start of tournament season while providing them with an edge over competitors in PAL, town leagues and middle school leagues. It also promotes team bonding for the upcoming summer season.
FLG Spring Training is not your run-of-the-mill instructional clinic; using its proven methodology, FLG combines a variety of techniques to provide athletes with a top-notch training regimen that will improve all areas of play. Overall, coaches will work with their teams on various aspects of the game, such as creative play, transition play, riding and clearing, offense and defense and odd man situations. Training days will be used for system implementation, team development and game planning. Game days will serve to put FLG teams to the test, tracking each player’s progress. In addition, FLG Select teams will compete in organized scrimmages against other elite club lacrosse programs.

“Although scrimmages are an important training element, ignoring drills and the fundamentals can be detrimental to a player’s progression and skill development,” said Corey Winkoff, FLG Lacrosse, program director. “FLG Spring Training offers the whole package, allowing a player to hone in on important skills and test their ability against others in their age bracket.”
While this program is not required, it is highly recommended. Registration can be done online through your player profile. For more information, please call the office at 516.750.6500 or visit the FLG Lacrosse website.
