Program Philosophy
10 Point Philosophy:
- Lacrosse is more than a game. We develop fierce athletes and formidable young women on and off the field.
- Graduated and developmentally appropriate goals for our players to self-advocate which later adds to the success of our recruiting process.
- Develop players into master students of lacrosse who are strategic game changers on the field individually and within a team unit.
- Basic skills and fundamentals are key building blocks to a foundation for future success in lacrosse.
- Providing off field opportunities for service allowing for players deeper understanding of what “team” really means creating a productive and positive ripple effect not only within our team dynamic but in the community and world around us.
- We teach our players to not only welcome and accept a challenge but to embrace discomfort enabling them to develop into well rounded players capable of contributing all over the field.
- Players share and earn time on the field with the highest degree of sportsmanship and respect for the game of lacrosse.
- As coaches we become acutely knowledgeable about each players abilities to create effective and progressive goals in player development.
- Our club director, “Coach Duck” and all our coaches, in concert, will dynamically communicate specifics about each player during the recruiting process. Our hands on approach from the top level down highlights our mutual dedication as player and coach driving recruiting success.
- To have fun while learning the game.
Program Player Commitment
Please note that Dynasty Elite does its best to accommodate as many athletes as possible on its teams. However, demand often exceeds the number of spots available, so cuts may occur after evaluations. Coaches consider a variety of factors when selecting a team including, but not limited to: coachability, lacrosse IQ, attitude, athleticism, position, and ability to commit to the team.
A good practice provides players with a safe space to make mistakes. Players should be willing to fail and feel safe taking chances as it is the only way to reach new heights. Dynasty Elite provides training year-round which enables the chemistry of each team to develop overtime encompassed by our proper instruction. We highly encourage as much participation as possible during throughout the year. While we understand players commit to school teams (which is important) we also provide practice AND tournaments in our SPRING season for our middle and youth teams. We believe this spring opportunity allows for our players to acquire real game training and “in the moment” coaching before the more competitive and intense summer season.
Specifically, there will be one practice per week and a fall league game during the fall season, one practice per week during the winter/spring season, AND two-three practices per week during the summer season. All tournaments and practices are uploaded into TeamSnap.
