IMG Lacrosse Academy
Lacrosse training is about more than “feeding the ball” and “shooting on the run.” It’s about gaining a thorough understanding of the game, preparing mentally and physically, for the challenges of elite play, and being the best you can be. At IMG, our lacrosse training program helps athletes develop their game and reap the benefits of a world-class education, so they can experience success on and off the field.


Imagine a training facility dedicated to lacrosse, where fields are used solely for lacrosse, the training grounds are in perfect condition and there’s no worry about scheduling practice time around other sports and teams. This is reality at the IMG Lacrosse Academy in Bradenton, FL. With year-round availability, lacrosse team training offers teams at any age group the chance to prepare for an upcoming season or tournament and become THE TOTAL ATHLETE. From current lacrosse stars like Paul Rabil and Max Seibald to legendary coaches like Team USA’s Mike Pressler, the IMG Lacrosse Academy has hosted many of lacrosse’s elite.
From experienced veterans to rookies looking to make an instant impact and upperclassmen preparing for a breakout year to an incoming freshman learning the intricacies of college lacrosse, the IMG Lacrosse Academy provides players with the knowledge, skills and training regimen to reach their full potential and become THE TOTAL ATHLETE. Our staff will focus on the individual player, creating a customized program to maximize development and expand each player’s game. Every college player receives a detailed analysis of strengths and weaknesses, as well as a progressive plan for continued development throughout the lacrosse season.
