What Separates Us?
Emphasis on The Individual
“I am one of the only people on the planet that has taught lacrosse for 30 years on an individual basis. Not being a lacrosse team coach, but a player development coach. Nobody can say they’ve done that.”
A Playing Career That Translated to Teaching
“I’m a better lacrosse teacher because I was a good player. I have the ability to command a player’s attention and get respect. I know what I’m talking about.” Mark has also created a curriculum that allows all of our coaches to coach using the same terminology to allow for any of our trained coaches to teach effectively.
Teaching Takes Grit
“Teaching is unbelievably difficult to do hour after hour. It requires knowledge. It requires patience. we’ve demonstrated that during the last 30 years.
We’ve always noticed that other Camps will do a certain amount of teaching and then give up. They’ll resort to rolling the balls out and playing. What they fail to understand is that the kids want to keep being taught and can absorb more than what is given. The coaches are the ones who get burnt out and resort to scrimmages.
We stay true to teaching and it’s hard and it takes passion and it takes energy from your entire staff.”
Legitimacy
In lacrosse, unlike sports such as golf where formal licensing is required, there’s no universal standard for who can call themselves an instructor. That’s why experience, success, and longevity matter so much. Our track record serves as proof of our credibility.
Teaching the finer points of individual fundamentals is a unique skill that takes years of practice and dedication. With over 30 years of experience working one-on-one with players, we’ve made this our specialty.
