Our Proven Curriculum
At Millon Lacrosse, our curriculum isn’t just good — it’s the product of over 30 years of thoughtful design, constant refinement, and a passion for developing every athlete who steps onto the field. We don’t just roll the balls out and scrimmage. Every session is built with purpose, structure, and energy to help players take their game to the next level.
In today’s lacrosse landscape, young athletes often spend most of their time in team settings — club practices and tournaments that focus heavily on systems like rides, clears, man-up/man-down, and team offense or defense. While valuable, this leaves little time for what truly moves the needle: individual skill development.
That’s where we come in. Our curriculum is built to fill that gap, teaching the fundamentals and advanced skills that can get lost in a team-only environment. Every drill, station, and demonstration is designed to challenge players, sharpen their abilities, and build the habits they’ll carry into every game.
We believe great teaching is intentional. That’s why our instructors break down skills visually, demonstrate at game speed, and provide hands-on feedback. Scrimmages and games have their place — but with us, they’re never filler. We use them strategically to reinforce what’s been taught, ensuring athletes leave camp not just having played, but having grown.
Whether you’re a first-time camper or a returning athlete, our proven progression covers all ages, all positions, and every phase of the game. Early in the week, the focus is on high-rep, high-quality skill work; as camp progresses, we shift into game play — always with the goal of putting new skills into action.
At Millon Lacrosse, teaching is our mission. Development is our promise. And results are what we deliver.
