ELEV8 ELITE BOX TEAMS
ELEV8 Lacrosse is excited to announce the launch of the ELEV8 Elite Box Travel Teams, the highest-level box lacrosse club team experience in Canada.
ELEV8 Elite Box Travel Teams are exclusive to 2020 ELEV8 Winter Training student-athletes. All teams will participate in USBOXLA Nationals in August of 2020 and compete against the top US Box Lacrosse Club Teams at the National event.
BOYS PROGRAM STRUCTURE
On-floor sessions are divided by gender and into Elite and Developmental groups to best provide student-athletes with the environment to succeed as an individual.
The Elite group is designated for student-athletes who have previously played “A” box level lacrosse. The Developmental Group is designated for student-athletes who have yet to play “A” box level lacrosse.
Each Peewee to Junior on-floor group will train two sessions per week; Dry-land group will train two sessions per week. This very focused program is for committed lacrosse players and student-athletes whom are motivated to continue their development in pursuit of their lacrosse, academic, and personal goals.
GIRLS HYBRID PROGRAM STRUCTURE
ELEV8 Lacrosse takes a unique and pioneering approach to girls lacrosse development. As the sport of girls lacrosse grows, it is important to include the box lacrosse and field lacrosse disciplines within development.
Female Winter Training participants will be coached in a box lacrosse environment, with box lacrosse systems, theory, and strategy while using field lacrosse equipment and modified rules for competitive settings.
We are excited about this new direction, giving female players the opportunity to develop in an environment unique to their discipline while using their field lacrosse equipment and preserving the box lacrosse characteristics which make Canadians the best lacrosse players in the world.
This direction within our development model will teach box lacrosse theory and systems while significantly increasing stick skill development with the utilization of girls field lacrosse sticks.
DRYLAND TRAINING
Optional dryland programming is administered by WinSport strength coaches utilizing program direction from the Canadian Sport Institute and Olympic Strength Coaches and program directors. Student-athletes are challenged to learn, develop, and grow under the most diverse strength coaching model in the best training facility in Canada.
Each dryland group will train two days per week in a very focused and intense training environment. This environment will focus on developing elite level training habits, a commitment to athletic development, mechanical development, and athletic training accountability.
All sessions will take place in the most technologically advanced training environment in Canada with Olympic level guidance, instruction, and leadership.
