Lacrosse Summer CampsThe IMG Lacrosse Academy's 3-Week Lacrosse Summer Camps program is tailored to the development of the lacrosse player (ages 10+) of all ability levels.

Building on the foundational curriculum provided in our one-week lacrosse camps, all players will experience three weeks of the core lacrosse training camp that features daily position-specific drill work, classroom strategy sessions, scrimmages and Physical and Mental Conditioning sessions with IMG Performance Institute specialists.

Playing with and against players from around the world creates a very competitive environment centered on player development and team play that will maximize each player’s dream of high school and college play. IMG coaches create an intensive but fun learning environment of competition that enables players at every lacrosse summer camp to build confidence on and off the lacrosse field. 

Players that participate in our 3-week Lacrosse summer camps will be able to demonstrate:

  • a solid foundation in the individual skills and techniques of lacrosse. This includes stick-handling, cradling, stick protection, dodging, shooting, passing and catching in tight situations, and ground ball technique. These skills and techniques will be taught specific to each position and emphasized in both the field and indoor (box) settings.
  • a player-centric capacity to make read-and-react decisions on-and off-the-ball. Concepts will be developed using traditional lacrosse offensive and defensive sets, as applied in the field and indoor (box) settings, as well as applications for emerging and advanced innovative concepts.
  • a capacity to capitalize on transition, unsettled and uneven situations using a high-pressure, up-tempo mindset and approach.
