Pro Shooting Academy

The PSA is designed for all players who are hungry, dedicated, and willing to work hard to transform themselves into elite-level shooters and elevate their game. Offensive players as well as defensemen or LSMs interested in dialing in their skills to be a threat in transition are also welcome!

Our curriculum is designed by PLL Hall of famer Mark Millon who boasts over 30 years in the world of lacrosse player development. We will use advanced teaching methods with an enormous focus on technique and fundamentals. We will use video analysis to study and improve release patterns, catching, body mechanics, and technique. We will cover all the shots including inside, outside, and on the run shots and show the importance of movement off ball. In addition to mechanics, the coaches will share their favorite drills and cover in detail the mental aspects of shooting.

This session of the pro shooting academy will be led by former #1 recruits and university of Virginia teammates McCabe and Brendan Millon. The tandem have also been lethal scorers on the lacrosse field but also grew up around lacrosse camps and instruction. The two are great at breaking down the finer points of scoring with a heavy focus on technique.
