Foundations Lacrosse
Elite Lacrosse Training
Foundations Lacrosse offers something different. We focus on training first. Foundations puts no focus on how to win summer tournaments or how to be the best club team. We put all of our attention on repetitions, quality of repetitions and level of coaching. We do this, because this is what allows players to fulfill their potential as a lacrosse player. We also do not interfere with their town lacrosse experience, which we believe is by far the most important. When our players are asked who they play for they respond with their town or high school team. Ask the best players on the field who they train with, and they will tell you FOUNDATIONS LACROSSE.
