TESTING YOUR DEFENDER…

SUMMER FOOTWORK/DODGING WORKOUT

In this video, we go over the "TEST JAB". It is basically throwing in smaller little jab fakes to see if the defender will bite on one of them. This skill is what the greats can pull out in a second. Having nuance in your game will make you way harder to guard, so that is what we are training. We also sprinkle in tactics which leads to better "LAX IQ". This work out is rated for more intermediate to advanced players, but novices can also work these as well.

So follow along to grow your footwork game! And just in case you master one section fast, here are the time stamps for the specific movements we do

THE LEAGUE THAT IS JUST FOR YOU

Do you wish there was a league where players could choose their own teams composed of their friends, no matter what school or club they play for?

where they get maximum reps on offense and defense, to hone in their in game experience, IQ and confidence? 

And do you wish it was local? And pretty cheap to play? 

Well I created a league where you can do just that!

Introducing the Prime 3v3 league allows players to choose their own teams

Maximize their creative juices and get way more game reps then the traditional game

Here is how the league will work

There are 3 divisions 

  • MS 6-8

  • HS

  • and Adult (18+)

For this season it will only be girls, but boys are coming quick

  • Grab 4-6 friends to create your squad

  • There are two divisions you can choose from depending on your teams skill and experience level

  • Play every Saturday night for 4 weeks straight in late July and August with multiple games a night! 

  • Games will be 15 minutes long 

  • For the first season of the Prime 3v3 league, we are shooting to get in 3 games a night 

Teams will compete against other teams in their divisions in two regions 

OC south 

SGV north 

  • Once the north and south conference champions are crowned, they will face off against each other in a one day tournament, winner take all! 

BTW, this is a player only league, meaning that the players are the coaches!

This gives them a chance to flex their leadership skills and might inspire them to practice more on their own. You know what I mean parents and coaches. 

And there is much more to the league but you'll just have to sign up to see!

Registration is open now and ends on July 9th 

There are only 10 team spots per division in each conference, so dont wait, sign up quick before all spots are gone. 

Call up your homies, sign up, have a blast and play more lacrosse
