A faceoff is a competition between two opposing lacrosse players (really a 3 v 3 competition with the wings involved) to gain possession of the lacrosse ball.  To begin, the lacrosse ball is placed on the ground in between two opposing players lacrosse heads.  On the whistle, the players try to react and win the ball for their team.

We believe every player’s assets and body types are different. As a result, so should their stance and faceoff strategy.  Not only do we teach each player how to clamp (cover) the ball properly but we teach them other counter moves to help throughout the game. We like to incorporate groundball, shooting, and footwork drills to make players better athletes.

Great question. All players are given a “year”, based on their Highschool graduation year.  Clubs and coaches do this to keep a equal level of consistency/clarification.

On the field? Here’s a cheat sheet:

2020 – HS SR

2021 – HS JR

2022 – HS Soph

2023 – HS FR

2024 – 8th Grade

2025 – 7th Grade

2026 – 6th Grade

2027 – 5th Grade

2028 – 4th Grade

2029 – 5th Grade

Of course – in the beginning of each session we will split players based on age and maturity to prevent this. We won’t pair a player up against a bigger, more mature opponent unless he would like too.

Yes, if the faceoff event is cancelled players will receive a 100% money back guarantee (please give us 7 days to refund payment).  Players are able to receive a refund on the faceoff session at any time as long as a player notifies us via email/call/text before the event. If the player misses the faceoff session without contacting us there will not be a refund.

Of course, we’ll take any apparel back that the customer isn’t happy with.

We don’t have a discount, but we’re happy to work w/ a club or organization on something that makes sense.  Feel free to send us an email here.

Sure thing – rain or shine, we’ll still grind :).  If the weather is dangerous or extremely bad we’ll send out a email notifying of the cancellation + look at a make-up date.

Unfortunately they do not; we expect customers to attend all sessions they signed up for in a given season. If there are any special cases please feel free to contact us HERE.

Great question – we ask families and players to buy training sessions in the market they currently live in or plan to be in.  If a player is traveling throughout the year and wants to drop in to a new market and/or training session, we welcome it.  Welcome to a new hood!

We ask for a U.S. lacrosse number for all of our players due to liabilities.  To sign up please check the link out HERE

Check out our head recommendation page HERE

• We would recommend either going to a local lacrosse store where they specialize in stringing OR try Ustring HERE
• We recommend a mid-level pocket so the ball has less of a distance to travel from the ground to the pocket.  Every elite player has a specific pocket location preference – and that’s fine – but we’ve seen mid-level pockets benefitting a player w/ regards to ground balls.

Great question:

• Check out our whistles w/ music to jam out too while you practice in the backyard or pregame HERE
• Check out our coaches training pages HERE

Keep an eye out – we are constantly adding content.

We’re always interested in motivated people w/ the agility to learn – with or without faceoff experience.  Drop us a line w/ your personal interests, past experience, or resume and let’s link up soon.
