Overview
Program Structure
IMG Academy’s boys lacrosse program’s year-round training regimen incorporates foundational, position-specific skill work, strategic development, mental toughness and leadership skills, and competitive situations against some of the nation’s most competitive schools and academies. Student-athletes focus not only on tangible skills such as passing, shooting, defense, and transition, but they will also develop the mindset and characteristics that allow them to be successful at the next level, such as confidence, work ethic, strategy, and more.
IMG Academy incorporates elements of box lacrosse into its training, a methodology commonly utilized by top division 1 program to prepare for outdoor competition and the regular season. With 5v5 indoor competition, box lacrosse is much quicker, as the ball is always in play off the boards, passing and shooting are confined to a limited area, and players will get more reps while becoming more confident with their stick work as well.
