Team Michigan
The Difference
- Knowledgeable and experienced coaches that don’t just know their X’s and O’s, but are excellent teachers and mentors.
We take the time to make sure we are putting effective coaches in front of your player because not every great lacrosse player makes a great coach.
- Appropriate tournament selection for your team.
Traveling out east is expensive. If the team isn’t ready for it, not only can it be mentally tough on your player, but it’s unnecessarily tough on your wallet. That’s why we don’t use a one size fits all model for every team. We select quality tournaments that will challenge players to maximize their development and opportunity for success over the summer.
- Quarterly S.M.A.R.T. goal checkups with Coach Gervat or Coach Alex
Our ultimate on-field goal is to help players maximize their opportunities at the collegiate level. That doesn’t just happen by hoping to get their. Hardwork on the field, in the classroom, and when no one is watching is how you get there. Coach Alex and Coach Gervat are here to help provide accountability and keep you working toward your goals.
