COMPLETE LACROSSE TRAINING FOR 7/8TH GRADE GIRLS SUMMER 2014: JUNE 23-AUG 15 MON WED 4:00-5:30 This program transforms the ability levels of athletes in just two months. Each week this summer, the girls will get faster, change directions more quickly, improve their coordination, get stronger, start eating healthier, and start to love preparing for their sport. By the time that program wraps up in mid-August each girl will have greatly improved not only athletically, but every skill set in lacrosse will have improved. ! Girls will learn about nutrition, learn an oﬀ-day stretching regimen that should be used in-season to stay healthy, and start a lifestyle where they strive to be healthy on their own because they feel better, play better, and look better when they learn how to take care of themselves. We make it a challenge but we make it fun and connect with every girl. Athletes are not just a number here!! If you come and work hard for us, we will go out of our way to make sure that you have everything that you need to succeed as a happy, healthy athlete. This is a community of athletes, by athletes, and a positive place to train. We’ll use all of our 10,000 square foot facility to help you reach your goals. Part 1: Learn LAX from the best Designed and taught by two of the most talented girls Lax coaches in the state, Holly Drown and Tracey Sullivan, and their staﬀ. This is a comprehensive lacrosse training program focusing on several specific aspects of the game: Shooting, dodging, ground balls, defensive footwork, and challenging, creative small space drills will help increase individual skills as well as build lax IQ. Portions of the sessions will be filmed and will provide each player with specialized feedback. Part of the training will involve LAXSANITY, a high intensity stick work routine for lacrosse players. The curriculum is designed to maximize the eﬀectiveness of your stick work as well as your fitness and athletic abilities across the summer. LAXSANITY increases both the intensity of the activity and forces the body to work for longer periods of time at a higher capacity to complete stick work at a game speed. Every LAXSANITY workout has a purpose, a theme, and a goal. Some routines will involve partners or small groups. Results will be recorded each session and progress will be tracked. Part 2: Speed and Agility Speed can be taught. We specialize in teaching it. Our high school athletes are proof of this: in the last 2 years our Track & Field athletes have made over 30 appearances in Nationals, earned 5 National Championships, and broken 9 high school records. All of this was accomplished by kids from the south shore who came to us to learn how to be fast. You will learn technique from Brendan Shea and All-American Track stars Amanda Claflin and Shante Little (Wheaton) on our 6,000 sq ft indoor field turf, working on conditioning, speed, and agility drills to make you are fast in every direction…because being fast is great, but your speed can only be employed on the field if you’re constantly able to maneuver, decelerate, accelerate again, and do so safely. ! Part 3: Strength & Conditioning 101 We then go into the gym and teach young athletes how to get strong the safe way. From 7th grade on, girls’ injuries skyrocket. Their joints aren't protected and their bodies need to be built up properly; between school, sleep, homework, computer, TV, etc, young athlete’s bodies and nervous systems have become less responsive. They live in the “oﬀ” position, and when we need to spring into action, their bodies have a tough time doing so. The result: underperforming athletes, and many avoidable injuries. The girls will get stronger here and see a diﬀerence in their on-field abilities within weeks, build durability and resistance to injuries, and improve each on-field skill set by improving their athleticism in every way. THIS IS NOT A HEAVY LIFTING PROGRAM, we use age-specific modified exercises to help strengthen and protect the girls bodies. Summer 2014 Shea Training Overview ! Dates June 23-August 13, 2014 !
