Curriculum

It’s a fact that is being discussed at all levels of the sport: Young lacrosse athletes are simply playing on too many club teams where the focus is generally geared towards team concepts, rides/clears, man-up/man-down, team defense/team offense, face-off play, etc. It really has to be that way in a team atmosphere with tournaments always close at hand. There simply isn’t enough time to work on the key INDIVIDUAL fundamentals and building blocks to success. Club teams, if run properly, are fun and great as a way to reinforce the skills you learn at camp or in your backyard, not as the only form of instruction a player receives.

Instructors visually teaching a lacrosse camper can be hard, so not many camps do it. What’s easy is rolling the balls out to play. The kids love it and, as a director, it takes almost no planning and organization. At Millon lacrosse, we refuse to take the easy way out. We teach, we drill, and we have fun.

After over 25 years, our curriculum has been refined many times and has a proven track record. It is set for all ages and all positions. During the early part of the week, we do a large amount of individual skill building, and as the week moves on we play games for one reason: to reinforce what was learned during our skill sessions.
