Who Is Fall Skills Training For?
For New Players: A Safe, Low-Pressure Start
If your child has never played lacrosse or has only played one season, Fall Skills Training is the ideal first step. Sessions are structured, coached, and welcoming — not chaotic pickup. Players learn fundamentals in a supportive environment surrounded by other developing players. There is no competition for spots, no evaluation, and no prior experience required.
For Developing Players: Breaking Through to the Next Level
Players who have one or two travel or town seasons behind them use Fall Skills to work on specific weaknesses, develop consistency, and push their skill ceiling. With coaching staff drawn from 4 Leaf's year-round travel team program, every session pushes players above their current standard.
For advanced/club Players: staying at the top
Players who already compete at a high club level use Fall Skills to sharpen the details that separate good players from difference-makers — footwork under pressure, off-ball IQ, finishing in traffic. 6th -12th grade participants must be part of a club program to join.

What Players Work On Each Session
Sessions are coached, structured, and fast-paced — not pickup time in a gym. Every session covers:
- Stick skills — catching, throwing, cradling, ground balls with position-specific technique
- Attack fundamentals — dodging, finishing, feeding, off-ball movement
- Defensive fundamentals — body position, stick checking, footwork, sliding concepts
- Lacrosse IQ — reading the field, decision-making in small-sided games
- Small-sided game competition — scrimmages and skill challenges that apply what was drilled
Coaches tailor feedback to each player's level. A first-year player and a returning travel player in the same session will receive different coaching emphasis — the younger player works on fundamentals while the more experienced player gets pushed on reads and positioning.
Frequently Asked Questions — fall Skills Training
Does my child need prior lacrosse experience to attend fall Skills Training?
No. Fall Skills Training is explicitly open to new players as well as experienced ones. Our coaches structure each session to work across skill levels — newer players focus on fundamentals while more experienced players get pushed on advanced technique and game reads. No child will feel lost or left behind.
Is Fall Skills Training the same as Summer Day Camp?
No — they are two different products. Summer Day Camp is a four-day full-day program (9 AM–3 PM) that runs for one week and includes non-lacrosse activities, Lacrosse Olympics, flag football, and more. Fall Skills Training is a weekly evening clinic (90 minutes per session) running across multiple weeks, focused entirely on skill development. Many families do both.
Can my child attend sessions in multiple states?
Yes. There is no state restriction. A Vermont family could attend both the Vermont sessions and the Massachusetts sessions in the same summer if the schedule allows. Registration is per session set at each location.
What gear does my child need?
Boys: lacrosse stick, helmet, shoulder pads, arm pads, gloves, mouthguard, and cleats. Girls: lacrosse stick, goggles, gloves, mouthguard, and cleats. Bring a water bottle. If your child is brand new and does not yet own gear, contact drew@4leaflax.org before registering — we may be able to point you toward loaner options.
Is Fall Skills Training open to players from other clubs?
Absolutely. Fall Skills Training is open to any player regardless of what team or organization they play for. Town program players, other club players, and unaffiliated players are all welcome.
