Team Training

Team Training

Year-Round Development. One Moose Standard.

Moose teams follow a purposeful year-round training plan designed to develop fundamentals, position-specific skills, lacrosse IQ and team chemistry.

Every phase has a purpose. Fall builds the foundation. Winter develops the player. Spring and summer prepare the team to compete.

01 · FALL TRAINING

Build the Foundation

The Herd’s fall season runs from September through November.

Teams practice once each week while integrating fundamental skill work, position-specific instruction and team concepts in preparation for the fall tournament schedule.

Fall Focus

  • Stickwork and fundamentals
  • Position-specific development
  • Offensive and defensive concepts
  • Communication and team chemistry
  • Fall tournament preparation

02 · WINTER TRAINING

Develop the Player
From December through March, the Herd moves indoors for eight focused instructional sessions.

The indoor environment allows coaches to emphasize repetition, footwork, technique, decision-making and small-sided competition. Players receive more touches and greater position-specific attention while preparing for the spring season.

Winter Focus

  • High-repetition stickwork
  • Footwork and body positioning
  • Shooting and finishing
  • Defensive technique
  • Small-sided decision-making
  • Dedicated goalie development

03 · SPRING & SUMMER

Prepare to Compete
The spring season begins in April and continues through the end of July.

Teams initially practice once each week before moving to a twice-weekly schedule as the summer tournament season approaches. Competitive games and carefully selected tournaments give players opportunities to apply their development at game speed.

Spring and Summer Focus

  • Team offense and defense
  • Situational lacrosse
  • Competing under pressure
  • Game-speed decision-making
  • Tournament preparation
  • Confidence and leadership

MORE THAN PRACTICES AND TOURNAMENTS

Our training is designed to develop more than lacrosse ability.

Players learn to prepare, accept coaching, respond to adversity and compete for something larger than themselves. Our objective is to develop skilled athletes, dependable teammates and confident young people.

Development First. Built on GRIT.
