Winter Boot Camp
High Intensity. High Tempo. High Energy.

Homegrown Lacrosse's new Winter Boot Camp is a high intensity, high tempo and high energy training program designed to get players (boys and girls) ready for tryouts and the spring season. 

Mixing speed and agility work with skill building drills, Homegrown's Winter Boot Camp meets players where they are now and helps them pave the road to where they want to be. Designed to prepare players for the demands of the spring season, the seventy-five minute training program challenges players to improve their abilities from both a conditioning and skills perspective. Each session features progressive position specific instruction as well as high repetition skill drills. Every minute of field time is used to heighten player's on-field IQ while building endurance and lacrosse specific muscle memory.
 
The clinics are run by Homegrown coaching staff comprised of professional players as well as current and former MCLA and NCAA coaches and trainers.
 
Registration is open to players with a strong desire to improve their game. Each player will leave each session exhausted, and emerge after the eight week program with the confidence and skills to be step ahead of their competition going into the spring season.
