WHY FORCE LAX?

COACHING EXPERIENCE. PLAYER EXPOSURE. PLAYER DEVELOPMENT.

COACHING EXPOSURE

We provide the best coaches in the area, many with collegiate playing experience as well as high school coaching and college coaching experience. Our coaches are invested in growing the game of lacrosse in Northeast Ohio. We find it incredibly important for our players to learn from someone who was once in their shoes and knows what it takes to perform at any level. 

PLAYER EXPOSURE

Our players are exposed to not only top area competition but to college coaches from all levels. It makes it easier to find a college that meets your needs! With the vast amount of college playing and coaching experience our coaches have, Force Lacrosse Academy is built to guide you through the exposure process. Playing against top competition in the region allows us to grow as individuals and as a team. If you want to be the best, you have to play the best! This is a great way to gauge where we stand regionally as individuals and as a program! 

PLAYER DEVELOPMENT

Lastly, it’s not only about the final destination (college) but it's about the journey (player development). We focus intensely on our players development throughout each season, providing 9-12 practices as well as chalk talks to improve lax IQ and performance training to improve player athleticism. We provide player feedback so our players know where they need to focus and improve in order to better perform on the field. Player development is the engine that drives our program. It is and will always be our primary focus, our goal is to help mold the player into the very best version of themselves, either by adding new skills to their repertoire or by creating and cultivating new ones for the player to succeed.
